Returning from a recent trip to Mid-West, and being a history buff, decided to checkout this place to hear more about the Erie Canal. Fantastic!! It is a small museum, and centers on the history of how the building of the Erie Canal created the town of Lockport and the building of the five locks there. But don’t think it is just about Lockport. It is about the construction of the canal. We met Rick there who was on duty for the museum who gave us an overview of things then paid a small admission fee and went upstairs to where there is a interactive movie about the building of the canal and other exhibits. For a small museum, it packs a punch. We spent about an hour there, then walked maybe 100 yards to where a set of locks had been built and had been highlighted at the museum. You get to see the original 5 locks since decommissioned and replaced with 2 new locks. Would have been great to see a boat go through the locks, but that is just a matter of chance. If you want to hear about the building of the canal I highly recommend.

I was super excited to see the owner in action after reading the reviews about him. Well, i visited last weekend and i have to say all the bad reviews are people who are rule breakers. How hard is it to follow simple rules. The the guy who wanted his kid to be let in snack bar- No mask, then no snack bar. Buy a ticket for the movie you want to watch,to the guy who has his car towed, no you cant switch so dont try it. I had a great time the food was great the screen and cars were organized right. The prices are very good, even the snack bar. The staff did a great job keeping it clean. Thanks for the fun night out. Oh and i did get to see the owner in action i just want to say to him Keep it up and kick out the rule breakers!!!
