Chilo Lock 34 River History Museum Open to Explore

Looking for an easy way to beat the heat but still get a little out there? Visit our River History Museum located at Chilo Lock 34 Park! Located on the banks of the Ohio River, this 39–acre park features a historic river museum, wildlife nature preserve, river walk and picnic shelters. Dock your boat here for a scenic lunch stop, and explore the Chilo Lock 34 River Museum, occupying the former operations building at the Ohio River Lock and Dam #34. 

Although the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decommissioned the facility in 1964, Clermont County Park District was able to renovate the building in 2005 as an interpretive visitor center and museum. With the theme of “Living and Working with the Ohio River”, the museum offers an interactive glimpse into the history of steamboats, floods and working and living on the river. 

Open Thursdays through Saturdays, from 10:30AM-4:30PM Located at 521 County Park Rd, Chilo Ohio 45112
