and Print Application Form
Augusta Canal Keepers show their enthusiasm for this
special landscape in many ways. In turn, Keepers are thanked with benefits,
discounts and special acknowledgements.
For many years a lock keeper lived at the headgates, attending to the
Augusta Canal's safe keeping. Today's Canal Keepers carry on in that spirit.
Just as Augusta Canal is structured in three levels,
Canal Keepers may donate at several levels of support. (In-kind donations
of goods and services will be acknowledged at the appropriate level).
Canal Keepers receive free admission to the Augusta
Canal Interpretive Center, discounts on gift shop merchandise and can
participate in special "Canal Keepers" events throughout the
year.
Your support enables the Augusta Canal National Heritage
Area, Inc. to further its mission of preserving and protecting the Canal
as a unique and special place in our country's history and environment.
