Walking through downtown Lockport, you will notice four museums positioned near each other: the Gladys Fox Museum, the Gaylord Building, the Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery, and the Will County Historical Society Museum. The museums each showcase important historical artifacts relating to the town and the state and have, on occasion, been host to traveling exhibits from the Smithsonian. Besides these four museums, the town also boasts an outdoor museum near the canal called Lincoln Landing. This museum doubles as a park and features bronze medallions with historical information, each medallion leading you to the next on a walking tour through the park. The Gaylord Building houses exhibits about the town and the local canal, and group tours can be set up to view all the exhibits. The museum also features the Public Landing Restaurant. After viewing the museum's exhibits, take a walk along the canal trail and have a look at the canal for yourself. Just outside of the historic Gaylord building is the historic district of downtown, full of shops and restaurants. The city hosts a Bike and Dine Lockport event during summer months. The event begins at the South Public Landing parking lot, and from there you can ride your bike through 25 miles of trails, with two restaurant stops along the route.
