Plan Your Visit

Take a walk along the perimeter of the former Cascade Mills. A sculptural interpretation of the Schumacher Mill's overshot wheel is the focal point of the park, and locally quarried sandstone defines the former perimeter of the mill. Interpretive signs along the paths tell the story of this dynamic canal-era site.

The Museum is open seasonally late April through October. Open Weekends Saturday and Sunday 10:00am-4:00pm. Also open Fridays in June, July, and August. Group tours can be sheduled during the weekdays and off season by calling 330-374-5625 or email info@cascadelocks.org

Take a walk back in time and view the many interactive exhibits detailing the heyday of the canal and it's role in shaping our region. Beverages, snacks, souvenirs and locally made goods are available for purchase during museum hours.

Explore Cascade Park by bike! We partner with The Summit Bike Share which is a free bicycle share system. For hours of operation, visit the Mustill Store or visit summitshare.org for more information.
