    Ford Dam, also known as Lock and Dam No. 1, belonged to the Ford Motor Company and supplied electricity to its Twin Cities Assembly Plant on the east side of the river. When you visit this point, you'll have the opportunity to witness the dam and experience the true power of the Mississippi River.
