    This Douglas DC-3 aircraft was operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1959 as it brought visiting dignataries to the Garrison Dam project. The planes would land on the grass runway at Washburn Municipal Airport and cars would meet the planes to take visitors to check progress of the nearby construction.

    Connecting with Missouri River, USACE, Family

    I have found a connection to and through the Missouri River that runs deep and as wide as it once meandered. I’ve been with the Omaha District a little more than four years. I knew when taking the job that North Dakota was in the District’s area of responsibility and I would likely find connections to my family. North Dakota is where my parents and grandparents grew up. My dad’s great grandfather moved to Garrison, North Dakota from Iowa in 1901 to farm and my great-grandfather worked on Missouri River riverboats until traffic ended in 1926.
