CANCELLED: Men’s Fellowship: Lockport Tours

Saturday, May 13
9am – 2pm

Did you know that the stained glass windows at 1st Presbyterian Church Lockport, were done by Tiffany? Or that they applied several layers of different colors of glass to get the right color? Did you know that the original Locks in Clinton’s Ditch, including the flight of 5 locks, were built in 1825; and the Barge canal was built next to them in 1905? Or that one man would push a large lever to move the original locks?

Please join the Men’s fellowship group for as many of the five tour stops as you would like. RSVP to Cynthia in the church office by Tuesday, May 9, via Facebook, email n.church@verizon.net, or call 716.632.1330. Please be specific about which tour stops you will do. (Men only, please.)
