This is a lovely bridge over the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. It was built from 1829 to 1833 and is one of 12 such bridges to cross the canal. During the Civil War, it was nearly destroyed, but a lockkeeper was able to persuade troops to destroy a different bridge instead.

The Monocacy Aqueduct spans 516 feet and has seven arches. It is the largest of the eleven aqueducts along the C&O Canal and has been described as "one of the finest canal features in the United States."
