Experience the 1800's on the C&O Canal

This past summer my family and I rode our bikes on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal trail from Cumberland, MD to Williamsport, MD. Throughout our 4 day trip we wondered what life along the trail was like in the 1800’s. We took particular interest in the numerous lockhouses and what life was like in and around these historical structures. Now, thanks to the C&O Canal Trust we all can experience life on the canal. Three lockhouses are available for overnight quests. A fourth is scheduled to open mid-2010. The lockhouses have been meticulously refurbished and furnished with  accommodations that are similar to those found in the 1800’s.
