In celebration of National Rivers Month, this episode of Big Blend Radio’s Journey Jukebox travel podcast features travel writer Lisa Evans, who takes us on a meaningful journey through the historic Mohawk Valley in Central New York.

From the region’s Indigenous heritage to its cultural and historical landmarks, Lisa highlights the Mohawk River’s significance in shaping communities and connecting the past with the present. The episode explores how the Erie Canal, taverns, churches, music, and food reflect the area’s deep and diverse history. Nature’s role in preserving heritage, and the emotional resonance of revisiting one’s roots, are central to this conversation.
