Have you ever wanted to see the inside of a lockhouse or wondered what it was like to live and work along the canal? Well now you can!

Canal Quarters offers an extraordinary interpretive opportunity for people of all ages. Now, for the first time ever, you can stay overnight in a lockhouse and experience life as it may have been during a bygone era on the C&O Canal. Four lockhouses have been painstakingly rehabilitated and furnished to evoke different eras in the canal’s history.

With a gift certificate, you can choose the lockhouse and length of stay, while allowing the recipient to select the dates that best suits his/her schedule. Please allow 7-10 days for receipt of gift certificate by mail. Need it more quickly? Contact the Trust by phone at 301-714-2233.

Lockhouse 49 has electricity and heat but no running water. A portable toilet is available.
