Reviews
"My 6 month old, my 10 year old and I were kicked out mid visit despite the pouring rain out. At 2:10 pm (even though it’s supposed to be open from 11-3 pm), because the lady needed to go to restroom. We were asked to leave and hurried out the door. We weren’t even able to completely put on our rain coats."
"This place provides some insight into DC and its environs in the late 1700s. This house was the residence and office of the person who ran the canal, boat traffic only, that is now constitution avenue!"
"Beautifully restored building with links to early DC and the canal system. Great video and small exhibition available. Honestly, also a great place to stop for a few minutes of air conditioning on a hot DC day."
"Hidden history in plain sight. Terminus of the old C&O Canal. Oldest building on the National Mall."
"This house just reopened after a renovation. Park service guide was friendly and helpful. It was an interesting and educational 10 minute stop. It provides a summary of how the DC man-made channel was created and then filled in."
