The Ameren America power house was the site of a significant donation from the Missouri based power company to the museum. Ameren representatives from Saint Louis and the Lake of the Ozarks presented the America’s First Great Dam Foundation Board with a check for 50 thousand dollars. Dam museum president Phil Tracy was grateful for the contribution which he felt was well-needed.
