Pawnee Dam

"'It ain't just beavers who can build dams. Check out this beauty.'"The Pawnee Dam is a dam in Pawnee, Dockland.

History
"'Tours are available on select dates, so if you're into hydroelectrical engineering, you will have a ball.'"The Pawnee Dam was built in 1936 in an effort to push back the Pawnee River and facilitate development in this outskirt of Dockland.

The dam was a success until the Illinois drought of 1981 caused the Pawnee River to dry up.

Now the dam stands there, not really serving a purpose besides being a historical monument.
