Construction of Gavins Point Dam

This video, produced in 2007, is frequently shown at the Lewis & Clark Visitor Center above Gavins Point Dam. The video captures the history of the southernmost of the six main stem dams along the Missouri River. Additional footage was provided by the South Dakota Department of Tourism and State Development as well as South Dakota Public Broadcasting.

I have to admit. Gavins point dam is a beautiful dam. I have been to Gavins point multiple times.

Clark and Lewis got to the Pacific coast of North America well after Mackenzie and Thompson did; who got there in the late 1700s. But being a US clip, it will purposely miss a large part of North American history. The Lavarondre (spelling error) brothers visited and mapped the US west for New France in the 1600s.

Interesting. I believe I saw a monument for this at Fort Pierre South Dakota.
