Abstract	The theme of this project is to examine the environmental history of the Mississippi River in the area surrounding Lock and Dam Number Six near Trempealeau, Wisconsin. With oral histories as our main source, our goal is to trace changes in the river environment after lock and dam construction in the 1930s. After taking part in several oral history interviews and utilizing much secondary source research, conclusions have been drawn as to what aspects of the river have changed since construction, as well as possible changes or problems that may occur in the future. Some of the topics to be covered are changes in fishing, wildlife, vegetation, water quality and habitat. The causes of the changes have also been examined, as has what the future and its environment may hold.
