More About c&o

The C&O Canal was made in the 1800s. It helped boats go from one place to another. The C&O Railroad came later. It helped trains carry more stuff fast.

Today, we still use trains and trucks. They help us get food and toys. Canals are fun for boats and fish too!

In the future, we may have new ways to travel. But the C&O will always be a big part of our past!
