Why is Muncy building a park and nature trail?
Muncy has a rich history and the canal that was built in 1834 boosted its income and its population. A small river town, Muncy profited from the canal and the lumber boom and many people lived there. Beautiful houses were built and significant businesses were started. The Historical Society would like to develop the park and nature trail as a way to celebrate this heritage and introduce children and adults to the beautiful wildlife and plants that live along the old canal, and to tell visitors how the canal operated and why it was so important in the making of the Muncy community.
