Waterways
The Great Lakes and the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio River Systems have long served as avenues of transportation, as sources of fresh water, and as convenient places to dump the leftovers of human enterprise. The collection allows visitors to consider the state of the region’s waterways before large-scale European settlement, and the impact of urbanization of lakes and rivers.
