Lockhouse 49 ~ C&O Canal NHP

This is where we spent the night on our little adventure. It's the second time we've stayed in a C&O Canal Lockhouse, which is essentially a night in a museum. Since there is no water & plumbing in this particular one, it's like glorified camping. Fortunately there is heat and electricity. This lockhouse was completed in 1839 and is decorated in a 1920s style. I highly recommend a stay in one of these historic buildings for anyone interested in history (a few of them do have full amenities!).
