Exploring Bethlehem - - The Lehigh Canal

Before trucks, even before trains, this country transported materials and goods to destination via a canal system, and one of America's first was the Lehigh Canal.
The waterway connected the coal fields to the markets such as New York City and Philadelphia. During their heyday, canals were responsible as anything for creating the Industrial revolution which changed America.

You weren’t lying on the title. You were exploring Bethlehem, PA, United States of America. I clicked because I thought it might be THE Bethlehem in Israel. Oh well. 🤷‍♂️

Can't tell you much about the other Bethlehem, but if the American town is of interest, this is your place...welcome!
