Talk:Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park

message: I've never merged two pages before but this seems like a case where two separate articles might not be necessary. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal article has more information about the National Historical Park than this article does and it would be difficult to expand this article further without repeating much of the information that is already in the other article. Opinions? --Nebular110 00:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No. One can put much more historical information about the Canal in the C&O Canal article, before it became a park. The company is different than the national park, also, look on the talk page on that article: it helps with categories when combining with other articles. Of course there will be a certain amount of unavoidable repetition.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonnachoven (talk • contribs) 12:35, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

message: my suggestion is that we create museum cats for the various visitor centers, rather than the park as a whole...  See Canal Place for an example.  Thoughts? dm (talk) 04:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The small map that accompanies Wikipedia's article on the park focuses on the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The C & O Canal is actually entirely in the State of Maryland, other than the bit in the District of Columbia.  No part of the canal is in Virginia.   (There was actually a separate short canal connecting to Alexandria.)  The Potomac River is also entirely in Maryland.

replies: text: The dams built to feed the canal extend to the other side of the Potomac river (VA / WV shore), and both slackwaters (Big Slackwater & Little Slackwater) used for navigation also extend to the WV shore. That could be the reason why they include VA / WV in the description. Ll1324 (talk) 11:37, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
