While attending the "Last Great American Canal" workshop at Lockport, Illinois, which was great in every way, we went on a tour of a number of historic places, including Starved Rock Lock and Dam.
This site has a gift shop, of course, and my wife and I bought a stuffed American Eagle. We gave it to our grandson, who was 20 months old at the time, and he carried it everywhere for a long time. Now, you might think that this souvenir, at a site run by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, would be home-grown, but this one is made in China!
It might be interesting to have students in appropriate grade levels write letters to their members of Congress and make them aware of how ironic this seems.
