James River and Kanawha Canal (先放上英文介紹...待我六月中踏過一遍再回來解釋)
Maps, photographs and artifacts help explain the Richmond canal system and the two stone locks restored here by Reynolds Metal Company. The locks, finished in 1854, completed the connection between the Great Shiplock below the James River fall line and the rest of the James River and Kanawha Canal system that extended into the western Virginia mountain ranges. Richmond’s floodwall construction could disrupt this park but it’s well worth the effort to see it. It’s located on the southern end of 12th Street near Byrd Street.
