Lock 16 Visitor Ctr

Experience Illinois history and American heritage in a quaint, antique setting at Lock 16 Café and Center in LaSalle, IL. We are open for breakfast and lunch and cater daytime and evening events. You can hold events at the Center and on our historic canal boat. Our canal boat is a replica of a mule-pulled 1848 boat used on the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
