The I&M Canal--A Frontier for the People of Illinois

2001
Our site has information on the I&M Canal. We made it so that kids could understand it better. We put a lot of pictures so that people will know what the I&M Canal looks like. We also tell what's the difference between the I&M Canal and the Sanitary and Ship Canal. A lot of people get confused with those canals and think they are the same. We also have a quiz for people to take. Then there's a page of pictures. Ther's also the Credits and the Bibliography page.
