Leesport Lock House, Historic canal house in Leesport, United States.
The Leesport Lock House stands beside locks 36 and 37 of the Schuylkill Canal, featuring period furnishings that reflect life between 1890 and 1910.
Built in 1834 by the Schuylkill Navigation Company, the Lock House supported canal operations that transported coal from Port Clinton to Philadelphia until railroad competition emerged.
The Lock House Foundation maintains the property as a museum, displaying artifacts and offering educational programs about canal transportation and regional development.
Visitors can explore the Lock House during open hours on the first Saturday of each month from April through October, between 10 AM and 2 PM.
The site includes visible remnants of the original canal lock walls, providing direct evidence of the 19th-century transportation infrastructure.
