History
Construction of the Nassau Mills lockstation
Constructed: 1895 - 1898

Minutes away from the world-famous Trent University and first surveyed in 1835, it wasn’t until 1895 that the government approved the canal construction between Peterborough and Lakefield. The firm of Brown, Love and Aylmer constructed dams to flood the rapids and locks to bypass dams. The dams continued to be timber crib construction till replaced by concrete in the 20th century.
