BALDWIN'S KNOB LOCK This was the first lock to be restored by volunteers and brought into regular use by passenger boats. Restoration began in 1990. The restored lock is a memorial to Gordon Foulger. The lock was originally built using blocks of local stone; volunteers cast over 100 look-alike blocks using concrete. Baldwin's Knob is the wooded hill across the canal to the right.
