The I&#038;M Canal was commissioned in 1823 in order to connect Lake Michigan with the Mississippi River (via the Illinois River). This marked the first complete shipping [...]]]></description>

This 150-foot wheel was modeled after the very first Ferris wheel, which was built for Chicago&#8217;s 1893 World&#8217;s Columbian Exposition.
