SUMMARY:Lockhouse 44 - Williamsport
DESCRIPTION:Seven days a week\, 24 hours a day\, in all weather\, lockkee
 pers attended to canal traffic. Lockkeepers were responsible for opening
  and closing the 74 lift locks along the canal. A lift lock works like a
  water elevator\, raising or lowering a boat 8 to 10 feet. The lockkeepe
 r was given a salary\, a lockhouse\, and an acre of land for livestock a
 nd a garden. Lockhouse 44 is one of little more than a dozen surviving l
 ock houses on the C&O Canal and remains as evidence of a bygone way of l
 ife. Harvey Brant\, the last lockkeeper at Lock 44\, operated the lock f
 rom 1915 - 1924. The Brant family left in 1961\, decades after canal cea
 sed operations.\n\nMore info: https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/event-de
