Gavins Point Dam story is very interesting. The site has a high tech visitors building that presents video presentations about how the dam came about. It explains the history of the flooding that occured along this mighty stretch of the Missouri. My great great uncle Micheal J. Gavin was a prominent farmer and land owner for which the hallowed site was named after for history. This site became twained as Gavins Point by navigators which moved their boats of freight and grain on the Missouri. My father (Edward Gavin) told me what little he could remember about his uncle Micheal, but one thing was for sure, uncle Micheal would bring he and his three siblings (Leonard, Bernard and Francis) the largest bag of Hershey Chocolates he had ever seen. ---- Aaron Gavin (Moved from the main article by Jerry picker 07:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC).)
