Welcome

We are the Lockport Locks Heritage District, and we offer the premier Erie Canal experience on the New York State Canal System. Begin your visit to Lockport, NY at the Erie Canal Discovery Center, immediately adjacent to restored Canal Street, located on the north side of the Lockport Locks. 


The Locks Heritage District features the Erie Canal Flight of Five Locks, which date back to the 19th Century Enlarged Erie Canal Era. Visitors can enjoy the self-guided Riley's Way walking tour and the Lock Tenders Tribute Monument. 


We offer docent-led tours of the Flight of Five, an engineering marvel of its day: the staircase set of five locks that enabled boats to 'sail uphill' over the formidable Niagara Escarpment.

 

On Saturdays between 11 am – 1 pm come watch our volunteer Fight of Five Lock Tenders manually operate the historic locks! 


Saturday visitors also enjoy the Lockport Community Farmer’s Market located next to Lockview Plaza, which operates from 9 am – 2 pm.
