Welcome to the history of The Carrying Place. The History Guy began to work on history of the Murray Canal due to collaboration with Sean Scally to do a documentary video. However, it soon became clear that I could not understand the history leading up to the building of the Murray Canal without understanding the history of The Carrying Place. Therefore, I began to gather information that would result in a two-part speaking series. Part 1 was "The Carrying Place" which was presented at the Brighton Public Library on October 18, 2022 and Part 2 will be "The Murray Canal" which will be presented at the Brighton Public Library on February 23, 2023. In recognition of the interest in this topic, I am providing a PDF version of the Part 1 presentation using the PowerPoint printing option for image and notes on the same page. This includes the image that was on the screen as well as the script I used to speak over the image. Please feel free to download this document and pass it around as you see fit.
