Why this spot
1820s canal village, abandoned late 1900s
Village at Locks 54 and 55 of the Schuylkill Navigation, which opened in 1824 and carried mostly coal to Philadelphia; some buildings date to the Revolutionary era. It outlasted the canal but was abandoned in the late 20th century when the Limerick Nuclear Power Plant was built next door.View source →
