Dale Hollow Dam 75th Anniversary

Tennessee has more than it’s share of beautiful rivers. They’re less beautiful when they overflow their banks and destroy lives and property. That was the case with the Obey River, until 75 years ago. This year, the construction project that tamed the Obey, and provided a fantastic recreational area is being celebrated. Join Nashville Public Television’s Tennessee Crossroads to find out more.
