Officials dedicated the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Transportation Museum Feb. 6, 2015 that provides education outreach and features the value of transportation within the historical inland passageway built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1972 to 1984. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile and Nashville Districts, 125 prime contractors and 1,200 subcontractors worked on the overall waterway. They constructed 10 locks and five dams, which required a total of 2.2 million cubic yards of concrete and 33,000 tons of reinforcing steel. The museum is located at 318 Seventh Street North in Columbus, Miss. It is open by appointment but is closed Sundays and holidays. The public is encouraged to go online at www.tenntom.org, call 800-457-9739 or 662-328-8936, or e-mail museum@tenntom.org for more information.
