What a neat place. Great Museum. Missed the Free tour ,hopefully next time we get to go. Also got our National Park Card, mine was free and will be a lifetime Card. Daughter had to pay $80 for the year.

I was delighted to visit this historic place. John was our tour guide and he was so enthusiastic about the history of this dam. There is a lot to see inside the museum as well as the free tour of the dam. My most favorite part was up top of the dam overlooking the river right as a barge came in. This place would be fascinating for both young and old so do yourself a favor and go visit!!
