Port Byron
Photographer: Howard C. Ohlhous
Taken: October 20, 2017
Caption: Port Byron's Lock 52
Additional Description: This view is looking east at the lower western end of the lock. You can stand at this same spot today, near the south side of the New York State Thruway. The Lock was constructed in the early 1860s with the lengthened section shown on the right being added in the 1880s. The towpath used by the mule teams and their drivers, the "hoggies", is on the left side of the image. This photo is on display at the Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park interpretive center.
