The Great Rivers museum

Hello, everyone. Continuing on yesterday's topic, we visited the museum at the amazingly large lock and dam setup near where Lewis and Clark prepared for their survey of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Yesterday's post showed a beautiful native shrub in the parking area. Today I will mention a few of the things inside.
This display shows the purpose of lock and dam systems. This one is on the Mississippi, but there are many others around the world. It is always interesting to see a barge and tug group go through the locks.
