Why Join CLCBM?
Your membership helps us provide educational programs and a beautiful, historic park that serves not only the community of Chittenango, the Town of Sullivan, and Madison county, but also New York State — as part of the Old Historic Erie Canal State Park.
Your generous membership fee and donations aid us in the preservation and restoration of our buildings, dry docks, and site, as well as educational and recreational program development. In the past two years (despite the pandemic) we were able to create, construct, or offer:
An Archeology pavilion, completed through a grant
Site improvements, re-envisioned through grants
New folk arts & crafts activities, and recreational activities
Suffrage Exhibit to honor Women of NY State (Humanities NY Grant)
STEM Club and Robotics Programs for Madison County Youth (grant-funded)
For 2021, plans are underway for a new and improved Kayak Launch, and outdoor events & concerts (with COVID safety protocols in place).
In addition, we will offer more STEM programs (grant-funded) and CLCBM will be the first of many locations to produce a 3-D site Tour! (grant-funded).

We do not receive state or federal support for operation. Our member dues provide for essential staff, upkeep, utilities, programs, supplies and services. We need your help to operate, and to grow our membership locally and nationally, to create a broad and stable financial support base.
Please, join us as a member of the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum. We are an IRS 501(c)3 Nonprofit, membership fees are tax deductible.
We look forward to an exciting 2021, working together to preserve our museum for future generations!
