Facilities & Assets
The establishment is housed in a barn constructed in 1830, originally serving as an animal auction house. In the 1970s, it was converted into a restaurant. The name "Lock 24" was derived from its proximity to Lock 24 of the Sandy and Beaver Canal, a significant feature in the area's history. The restaurant was also near the Church Hill Covered Bridge, one of the shortest covered bridges in the United States, measuring just over 19 feet in length .
