 The
I&M Canal National Heritage Corridor is a place to
explore nature, learn about the region's past and enjoy a wealth of
cultural attractions. It has had a long and illustrious history,
beginning with the Native Americans who inhabited the region for
millennia, to the immigrants who started new lives on the frontier, to
the millions who live and work here today. The I&M Canal propelled
Chicago and the surrounding communities into national significance, and
it was a major factor in the growth and development of the Midwest.
