VISITING LOCKPORT & THE LOCKPORT TROLLEY

Historic Lockport is a wonderful place for a day trip! During the warm weather months, you can take a boat ride through the Erie Canal Locks; all year long, there are other historic sites to visit such as the Erie Canal Discovery Center, the First Presbyterian Church which features original Tiffany stained glass windows, and, of course, the Kenan Center.

The Lockport Trolley runs from late June through the beginning of September. The Trolley makes stops at nine different sites along the route, so that you can see all that Lockport has to offer. You can ride the trolley free when you purchase a Tour Lockport pass that admits you to two of our most popular attractions: Lockport Locks and Canal Cruises and Lockport Cave and Underground Boat Ride. The pass price is $24 adults/$18 children (under 4, free). But you can also hop on board the trolley for just $1.00.

Below are the sites where the Lockport Trolley stops:
1. Erie Canal Discovery Center
2. Col. William Bond House
3. Niagara County Historical Society
4 & 5 Accomodations
6. Kenan Center
7. Historic Post Office & Palace Theater
8. Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises

Visiting the Niagara Region

What is there to do after visiting the Falls? Plenty! The Niagara region is a virtual playground of historical, natural, and cultural offerings. Visit our wine trails along Lake Ontario or enjoy some of the best fishing around. Sample the fresh fruits and produce from our many local farms or go antique hunting. Take a ride through the locks on the Erie Canal or immerse yourself in art at one of our many galleries. And don't forget, we're right across from Canada which offers its own distinctive blend of culture and attractions.

Ladies' Parlor

After several years of acquiring period furniture and room decor and having custom upholstery and draperies created, Mrs. Kenan's sitting room, otherwise known as the Ladies' Parlor, is now on view. The room has been recreated based on a photo taken in 1913, the year the Kenan's moved into the house on Locust Street. Enjoy this glimpse of life at the turn-of-the-century when visiting the Kenan Center House and Gallery.
