Cozy up for the night at Lockhouse 8 and experience life as it may have been during a period in which the home was used as park ranger housing during the 1960’s.
Canal Quarters offers an extraordinary interpretive opportunity for people of all ages. Stay overnight in a lockhouse and experience life as it may have been during a bygone era on the C&O Canal. Seven lockhouses have been painstakingly rehabilitated and furnished to evoke different eras in the canal’s history.
