About

Where Constitution Avenue now runs, the Chesapeake and Ohio and Washington City Canals ran between 1832 and the 1870s. The lockkeeper was responsible for opening and closing the lock at the end of the C&O Canal and for collecting tolls. The Lockkeeper's House was converted to a visitor information station in 2018.
