Lock Number 19
Lock Number 19 is an example of American engineering excellence. Originally erected in 1857 by the state of Illinois, the lock is part of a series of locks and dams that help to control river levels for transportation purposes. Today, the lock stands as a reminder of Uncle Sam's incredible engineering abilities. Its walls are still constructed from stone quarried from local bluffs and it continued in service into the twentieth century when it was finally superseded by more modern methods.
