TAUNY to display canoe made by J. Henry Rushton

CANTON — Traditional Arts in Upstate New York will have a J. Henry Rushton-made Indian Girl canoe on display at 53 Main St. through November.

Mr. Rushton, a Canton native, was a well-known boat builder at the end of the 19th century. The Indian Girl, a canvas-covered canoe, was a popular model.

The display canoe belonged to Canton resident R. Michael Maroney, whose family donated it to Grasse River Heritage Corp., a nonprofit group committed to good use of the riverfront.

Mr. Maroney, who died May 31, was postmaster in Canton for many years.
