The Great Falls Tavern, historically known as the Crommelin House, served as a vital lockhouse along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, facilitating the passage of countless cargo and excursion boats since its establishment as a hotel in 1831. Today, it stands as a visitor center within the C&O Canal National Historical Park, offering insights into the canal's history, recreational activities, and scenic hiking trails.
Visitors can engage in unique experiences such as mule-drawn boat rides and educational programs, while also enjoying the natural beauty of the Great Falls and Olmstead Island. The tavern continues to be a significant gathering place, reflecting its historical importance and ongoing relevance to the community and tourists alike.
