Blue Heron at Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio
We love animal postcards and Hope K. has sent us a fantastic animal postcard, thank you! The card reads: St. Marys is mostly known for the Erie Canal & Grand Lake St. Marys. The lake is the largest body of water in the world built without the use of machinery (Wow what a great fact!) It took 1700 men 8 years to build it with shovels and axes. (1837-1845) They worked sunrise to sunset for 30 cents a day.It was built to feed into the Erie Canal. Happy Postcrossing! - Hope K.
