Come see the restored Lockkeeper's House
The Lockkeeper's House — the oldest structure on the National Mall — has been relocated and restored as part of a major project that has transformed the site with a new visitor-friendly entrance, surrounding outdoor plaza and educational displays. Untouched for more than 40 years, the 180-year old structure now welcomes visitors from around the world to the National Mall.
In the neighborhood? The house is now open to the public. Stop in and learn more about how we restored this humble witness to history.
