The Lock House Museum is a beautiful and exciting excursion in Northern Maryland. Nestled next to the Susquehanna River, the museum offers beautiful views near Havre De Grace's downtown area. The Lock House was operational from 1840 to the 1890s as a home and office for canal workers, and when the canal ceased operations, the house served as a rental property for 70 years.
Visitors should note that while the Lock House Museum is a great attraction for children, the festival is for those 21 and older.
