The Chittenango Landing Dry Dock Complex provided dry dock for canal boats on the old Erie Canal. The original complex was built in 1856 and abandoned after this section of the "enlarged" Erie canal was bypassed by the new barge canal in 1917. The current restoration began in 1986 when the original dry docks were excavated, since then several buildings have been restored, one of which acts as a museum building for the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum.
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The listing includes six contributing structures over a 6.6-acre (2.7 ha) area.
The site includes three dry dock bays.
