Job Openings
Thank you to everyone who applied! We are now fully staffed for lock tenders–see you this summer!

Brothers Alex (left) & James Mueller (right) stopped in to visit their friendly lock tenders, who also happen to be their teachers at St. Francis Xavier Middle School. Bill Van Nuland and Brian McKinnon might have the best summer job–tending the Appleton locks–AND giving their students a look at “how they spent their summer vacation!”
Be part of the living history of the Fox Locks system when you work for us! Just as they did 150 years ago, lock tenders open the gates of the giant locks to allow navigation of the Fox River. Spend a summer with the only fully restored, hand-operated lock system in the nation!
