Bill Buell’s Electric City Archives: New Rotterdam marker where history, geology, technology share landscape | The Daily Gazette

The spot I’m referring to is along the bike path just east of Kiwanis Park, where the Plotterkill Creek comes running down from the Rotterdam hills and empties into the Mohawk River. A new historic marker telling part of the Erie Canal story is there, courtesy of Rotterdam resident Nancy Papish.
Whether you’re on a bike, on foot, or in your automobile, it’s a great place to stop and soak in the atmosphere, learn more about the history of the area, gain access to the Mohawk River at the park, or visit the Hungry Chicken General Store just across 5s and enjoy some fudge or ice cream.
