| General Information |
| The OES visited Lockville Park on September 29, 2001. When pulling into the parking lot, we noticed a very large lock to our left, and a covered bridge to our right. As we started walking around the park, we learned that there were two more locks located in the park and we found them. The locks here are much larger as far as depth than the locks in Lockbourne, Ohio, also featured on this website. The canals once spanned 1000 miles across Ohio and provided a system of transport where none had ever existed. The opening of the canals attracted thousands of immigrates to Ohio for work. Today only a few deep excavations, high earthen embankments and massive structures of timber and stone remain. In these pages are pictures of three locks. Visit the structures section to see Hartman Covered Bridge #2. The 360º panoramic picture of the Lockville Park is the same for both this section and the Hartman Bridge. |
