Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House

Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House

Step into history at the Lock House Museum, where the story of the Susquehanna & Tidewater Canal comes to life. Situated at the head of the Chesapeake Bay in Havre de Grace, Maryland, this restored 1840 brick lock house offers a glimpse into the region’s transportation past and its impact on commerce and industry. As the last stop before canal boats entered the bay, the lock house once served as both a home for the lock tender and a toll office for passing barges.
