The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, will host an open house at Lock and Dam 10 on the Mississippi River at Guttenberg on  Saturday, Sept. 20. The open house will coincide with the annual GermanFest in Guttenberg.

Corps officials are hosting the free event from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., to allow people to get a behind-the-scenes view of the site while also getting a better understanding of what the staff do to ensure safe, reliable navigation. 

  In addition to the open house, Corps staff and partners will have a variety of water safety activities on site. Visitors will have an opportunity to see some of the boats that are used on the river as well as learn about the importance of wearing a life jacket while on the water.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is celebrating 250 years of service to the nation throughout 2025. Lock and Dam 10, located at 5 Lock and Dam Lane in Guttenberg, was built in 1937.
