Vischer Ferry Historic District — The Erie Canal, which passed through this quiet village in the 1820s, gave it new life. This period was the heyday of the village. With the enlargement of the canal in the 1840s came a frenzy of building activity. Two dry docks located in the village after 1845 brought many boat builders and ship carpenters to the village. The Greek Revival houses, the major type in the historic district, were built by these men between 1840 and 1860. A number of the houses in the hamlet today resemble Greek temples complete with pillared porticoes. Between 1840 and 1870 when the canal was essential to the nation's growth, Visher Ferry was a thriving and bustling community. A well-preserved stretch of the canal and lock number 19 are reminders of this vital period. [Saratoga County, NY]

Center Bridge Historic District — the village first became prominent in the eighteenth century as the site of a Delaware River ferry crossing and a much used inn. Until well into the nineteenth century Center Bridge served both travelers and traders going between Philadelphia and New York City. Later, in the early twentieth century, the village became a part of the famous New Hope Art Colony. [Solebury Township, Bucks County, PA]
