Do you know what a lock master does, or do you think it might be something you unlock?

You are right about both. One thing I thought about when you hear about a lock master is a person with many keys, a person who maybe is a custodian. Or could you be a lock master at a lock and dam like the one here in Quincy or at Canton.

Sometimes,when I have nothing to do, I love to go down by the Quincy Lock and Dam and marvel at what the dam does. It helps the flow of water, but it can be very dangerous because you are right there, right next to that water that, if you are not careful, could sweep you right into the Mississippi.

Lock and Dam 21 became operational in July of 1938. And by the way, there is now a charge to visit Lock and Dam No. 21.They do have visiting hours from 8 a.m. to Midnight daily. They are closed December 1 through March 1.

This is just one of the places that makes Quincy a great place to live and work.
