"Enter a world where history was made. This handsome canal-side building, made of local limestone that was unearthed while digging the canal, is a vivid link to the past.

Today the Gaylord Building is a gateway to the I&M Canal National Heritage Corridor. Explore the building’s canal exhibits. Enjoy a meal in its Public Landing Restaurant. Relax with a stroll or bike ride along the scenic canal trail. Linger in the nearby antique shops of historic downtown Lockport."
