While visiting Niagara Falls, we decided to make a little trip to Lockport, New York to tour the historic Lockport Cave and Underground Boat Ride. It was a short 30-minute ride from our hotel in Niagara Falls (DoubleTree Niagara) to the Erie Canal. We are history buffs and like
Locks 34 and 35 on the Erie Canal.

The creation of the Erie Canal was one of early America's most amazing feats. You can still visit many landmarks along its route today.

Significance: The Village of Lockport, Illinois was platted by the Commissioners for the I&M Canal in 1836 at which time land between 8th and 10th Streets and Commerce Street and the Canal was set aside as a Public Landing area. HAER IL-16-A pertains to the canal, landing, and structures related to the canal. The canal served as a major means of communication and transportation for areas southwest of Chicago throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Primary goods moved along the canal included grain and flour, and limestone from the quarries in the Des Plaines River Valley. Other products included timber shipped in from the north, and agricultural products such as sugar and coffee from the south. Passenger service was also important in the canal's early years, until it was superseded by the Railroads in the late 1850's. The canal's presence contributed to the growth of Lockport as a principal grain processing and commercial center. Water power to operate milling facilities and a paper factory was provided by a hydraulic basin situated on the west side of the canal in the vicinity of 13th Street. Commercial traffic on the canal decreased in the final decades of the nineteenth century, and ceased with the opening of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in 1900.

This was one of my favorite places when I was a teenager (and probably before, too). Castle's was basically a place to go for ice cream. I don't remember if they sold burgers and other food items, I mostly remember the milkshakes and sundaes. A friend from high school recently reminded me that I used to order a hot fudge sundae made with chocolate ice cream. Today, I am not sure I could handle that! One of my other favorite places was almost next door (there were a couple of shops between) the public library.....thankfully, it is still there!
Old things tend to attract (or keep) old spirits. This unique spot in Buffalo is no exception!
