Public Tours of the Prairie du Sac Dam
The public will get another opportunity to tour Alliant Energy’s Prairie du Sac Dam. Last fall, the facility offered public tours as part of its 100th anniversary celebration. Over 900 people toured the hydroelectric facility and helped raise over $4,000 for the Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society.
The tours will begin and end at the Tripp Heritage Museum, 565 Water Street, Prairie du Sac. Tour participants will take a five-minute bus ride from the museum to the dam for the 90-minute tours. For those waiting to depart on a tour, the museum continues to feature a display commemorating the dam’s 100th anniversary and the corresponding formation of Lake Wisconsin. The tour costs $5 for adults and children, with all proceeds going to the Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society to support its programs.
The tours will take place from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 15, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17. Tour reservations will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Tour directors will include retired and current Prairie du Sac Dam employees. Photos will be allowed in all areas of the facility.
