The lockhouse museum at Havre de Grace










"Located in quaint Havre de Grace, Maryland, the restored lock house stands at what was once the Southern terminus of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal.
Construction began on the canal in 1836 and was completed in 1840. The 45 miles of canal ran from Havre de Grace at the top of the Chesapeake Bay to Wrightsville, PA. It linked with other canals to open central Pennsylvania to convenient trade with Philadelphia and Baltimore." Continued.
