Bernadotte Dam
Come visit Bernadotte Dam in Bernadotte, IL
Located on Central Illinois’ legendary Spoon River, the little community of Bernadotte is the site of the only dam on the river, a small and quaint structure which was constructed in 1830 for local grain mill use. The dam was revamped during World War II to create a water supply to the military’s nearby Camp Ellis.
