Lockington Locks, Historical canal locks in Lockington, United States.
The Lockington Locks system contains seven limestone structures stretching across 3.75 miles between Lockington and Washington Township in Ohio.
Construction of these canal locks began in 1833 and regular operations started in 1845 as part of the Miami and Erie Canal system.
The locks shaped local development, leading to the establishment of mills, general stores, and a machine shop in the surrounding village of Lockington.
Visitors can access this National Historic Site without entrance fees from dawn until dusk throughout the year, with information available at 800-752-2619.
The locks raised boats to the canal's highest elevation of 944 feet above sea level, using massive limestone blocks weighing up to 500 pounds each.
