Wikipedia describes the museum:visit link

'Canal Museum

The village is home to The Waterways Trust's canal museum (part of the National Waterways Museum), housed in a restored corn mill at the top of a flight of canal locks. The museum vividly tells the story of Britain's inland waterways and the people who worked on them. It provides a fascinating insight into the transport system which was fundamental to the industrial revolution in Britain. There are working models and 3-D displays including a model of the short-lived inclined-plane mechanical lift at Foxton in Leicestershire. The museum has a shop and café. Admission to the museum is £4.75 (ca.€8) with reduced rates for children, school parties, groups etc. It has a school/activity room available for educational visits. The museum is closed on Mondays in winter.

About half a mile north of the village is the south portal of Blisworth tunnel - accessible by a walk along the old towpath (on the eastern side of the canal - north of the village, the western side is either private property or inaccessible.) The tunnel is 3,056 yards (2,794 m) long and is one of the longest in the UK.'
