Miami & Erie Canal Overview

A lock means there is a grade separation of water so a mill next to it makes sense.

4 of 8 photos posted by Tim Snyder with the comment: "Visited two locks from the Miami and Erie Canal. The first four photos are from Canal Lock Park in Huber Heights, OH. Sadly, the park has no historical markers for the casual visitor. The next four are from Canal Lock Park in Tipp City, OH, which did indeed have a historical marker that identified the lock as Lock Number 15 on the Miami and Erie Canal. Adjacent to the lock is what appears to be replica canal packet boat in need of maintenance."
Vivian Davis: Canal boat in Tipp is not a replica

The canal boat is behind the mill, and it appears they already did a lot of restoration work.
