From Rapids to Reservoirs & Back Again?

In 2014, Congress directed the U.S Army Corps of Engineers to permanently close the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock. This ended commercial barge traffic at the Lower St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam and Lock and Dam No. 1. Now the Corps wants to leave all three. The Upper St. Anthony Falls Dam will stay, but Minneapolitans have a choice whether the other two locks and dams remain or come out. River historian Dr. John Anfinson will discuss the opportunities and choices at the Mill City Museum, 704 South 2nd St., Thursday, Oct. 1, 7-8:15 pm.
