America’s Stairway places the historic Flight of Five locks on the Erie Canal in Lockport, New York, squarely in the American narrative as a symbol of what a young and developing nation could achieve. It draws a direct line from the Flight of Five to the birth of American tourism and today’s heritage tourism industry, which is linked to grassroots preservation efforts.
