Cascade Locks Park Association/Mustill Store & House
The entire Cascade Locks Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the Depart. of the Interior in 1992. Spanning Locks 10-16 of the Ohio & Erie Canal, this historic area is a must-see for trail users and history buffs alike.
Cascade Locks Park is part of the Ohio & Erie National Heritage Canalway with access to the popular towpath trail and the Ohio & Erie Canalway Byway. A busy and densely packed valley in its heyday, this area once housed an iron foundry, a furniture factory, a distillery, several grist mills, and two rubber plants - all within a one half mile stretch of the canal.
The park currently boasts the Jewel of the Canal, the c.1850s Mustill store, house and yard. The Mustill Store houses one of the Canalway's most important Visitor Centers, and contains many fascinating exihibits on the beginning, heyday, and demise of the canal. The Mustill Store is free to the general public, handicap accessible, and perfect for all ages. The newest addition to the park is the Ferdinand Schumacher Cascade Mills Site.
Store hours vary depending on the season. The store is open from 9:30 am - 4:30 pm on Saturdays and Sundays from April through October.
On the last Wednesday of each month (May thru September) bring your brown bag lunch to the Schumacher Mills site and enjoy live music from 11:30 - 1:00pm.
