Thanks to funding from NYS , our Memorial Park has recently gotten a face lift. This park will be a beautiful tribute to our soldiers and our village. See below for pictures of the wall restoration.

Jordan is very proud of its history. As shown on our home page, the Erie Canal traversed right through the center of town. After being closed and drained, the village created an Erie Canal Park. Due to the age of the walls, some of them started to fall. Thanks to Mayor Platten and the State of New York, we were able to restore our heritage. The wall blocks had to be numbered and stored while the bank was shorn up - then put back in the exact spot that they were originally placed. A lot of time and effort went into the preservation of history. Construction is now completed and the canal is in it's final stages. Our historic canal is preserved. Thanks to everyone involved in this extensive project.
