Roanoke
Serious about fun
Roanoke's history stretches back to July 4th, 1835, when the Wabash–Erie Canal officially opened connecting Fort Wayne to Dickey Lock, roughly where U.S. 24 and Second Street now intersect.
Railroads replaced the canals and 21 years later, the Wabash Railroad laid its tracks along the old canal towpath. Now, U.S. 24 follows the same route.
Roanoke was once a stop on the Wabash & Erie Canal, check out this connection to the past as well as other local history at the Roanoke Area Heritage Center.
