A Nod to History:
The Hold is part of Navvy Town, a neighborhood honoring the canal workers who made the Illinois & Michigan Canal a reality. Completed in the 1800s, the canal connected the Illinois River to Lake Michigan, creating a vital waterway that transformed trade and travel across the Midwest. It shortened travel times, opened new markets, and helped shape cities like Chicago, LaSalle, and St. Louis. Like the adventurers and workers before you, your stay at The Hold is part of a tradition of exploration, connection, and progress.
The Hold is professionally managed by Harbor Inn Vacation Rentals, your local team at Heritage Harbor dedicated to making your stay unforgettable.
