National Canal Museum

Visit the only museum that tells the story of America's coal-carrying canals and how they ignited America's Industrial Revolution.

Experience hands-on educational exhibitions, extensive historical archives & collections, and the historic locktender's house and garden.

You can also take a ride on Pennsylvania's only mule-drawn canal boat ride.

Travel Back In Time

The 48-ton Josiah White II canal boat plies the waters of old Section 8 of the Lehigh Canal in Hugh Moore Park.

Our trained and authentically dressed crew interprets the story of the anthracite canals and the people who worked and lived on them.

Our two mules – Hank and George – tow the boat on a leisurely trip from the National Canal Museum to the Locktender’s House and back.

Canal boat tours are 45 minutes long and leave the dock at 12, 1:30, and 3 PM. Tours run rain or shine, except during thunderstorms and high winds,
