— Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park —

Built in the 1780's this farm house witnessed the arrival of the C&O Canal in the mid-1830's. Located at the east side of Hancock, the house residents catered to canawlers who passed through Lock 52 and the Tonoloway Aqueduct, selling goods and produce to the boat captains and crews.
