Join us for a deep dive into the history of the Soo Locks with Chief Park Ranger Michelle Briggs. Using historic photos dating back to the 1860s, this presentation explores the construction of the eight locks along the St. Marys River and places their development within the broader context of U.S. and world events. This presentation also includes an update on the 9th navigation lock currently being built.
