The National Canal Museum is Closed for the Season

Due to the closure of the Glendon Hill Road Bridge leading into Hugh Moore Park, the National Canal Museum, DLNHC offices, and archives will be temporarily closed through the remainder of 2026. As a result, our research capacity will be limited, and we will be unable to accommodate archival visits during this time.

Researchers may still submit Archive Requests, and we will make every effort to accommodate them to the best of our ability given the circumstances.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to resuming normal operations as soon as access is restored.
