Union Canal

Berks County · dedicated 1950 · PA 183 & N Heidelberg Rd., just SE of Bernville

The canal, at this point, followed the north bank of the Tulpehocken. A dam, two locks, and a mule bridge made it possible for boats to cross Northkill Creek. Nearby were grist mills, a lime kiln, and a tannery.
