If you keep going up the museum at the top is awesome up to the left and they got all kinds of things where you can like look through and watch and different stuff sometimes they have programs on the weekend and they're along the line that you see where you can see the barges come in and out that is a nice area to fish.

This is a MUST STOP destination if you want to see how a lock and dam work on the Mississippi River. CALL AHEAD to make sure the museum is open and they are giving tours of the lock and dam. If you go there anyways, (still advised) ...you will find HEATED BATHROOMS THAT ARE OPEN....even when EVERY RESTAURANT IN TOWN WONT LET YOU USE THEIR RESTROOMS.
