Annie Buchanan, as she’ll tell you, is the best cook on the Erie Canal, and Al, as he’ll show you with his music, is the canal-wandering minstrel, as they combine their talents to bring you tall tales, songs, and history from the early days of Clinton’s Ditch.

Everything she does instills her fast-paced presentations with energy, humor and lively interaction with audiences of all ages. Allen Hopkins has been a folk musician for 40 plus years.
