The museum is full of great pictures and history. Just get past the environmental fervor and evolutionist viewpoint, and it is amazing. Take the tour of you can.

I live within an hour of this museum and lock & dam and I had no idea it existed. It makes for a great day trip. Lots of bird watching and the museum and free tour of the lock & dam were great.

Very friendly staff. Building is wheel chair accessible (really, no guff no weird bumps or narrow doors) 2 wheel chairs (non-motor, regular sized) avaiable for use. Staff was very helping in putting on captions for related movies and answered all questions. Heck, even the turtles in the lobby were friendly. Will come again.

Great little place to stop by. We learned some interesting things about the lock and surrounding areas. Would have been better if the elevator was working.

Was there visiting in a holiday weekend, stopped in top kill time and look around. Nice little museum. Just missed the dam tour. I would suggest calling and getting the tour schedule ahead of your visit.
