It's the best of both worlds! 🎤🙌 Melton Hill Dam, constructed between 1960 and 1963, serves as a reminder on how our dams support both navigation and recreation. Melton Hill, located in East Tennessee, is the only tributary dam with a navigation lock. The reservoir offers nearly 193 miles of shoreline and more than 5,400 acres of water surface, making it a perfect destination for recreation. #TBT

Frank T. Crowe led the building of Hoover Dam and Shasta Dam. Just over 80 years ago, he turned Shasta Dam over to Reclamation! Meet Frank T. Crowe — the great nephew and namesake of our legendary dam builder. #DamHistory #ShastaDam #Shasta #Reclamation

Construction of our unique hydro facility, Tims Ford, began in 1966 and generated its first electricity in March 1972. Nestled in central Tennessee, this dam generates a net of 40 megawatts while providing water supply and flood damage reduction on the Elk River. #TBT

We acquired Wilson Dam in 1933 through the TVA Act. Located on the Tennessee River, Wilson was originally constructed to provide hydroelectric power during WW I. It also made the river more navigable, provided energy for development, and created recreational activities! #TBT

January 1, 1942, was a busy day in North Carolina as work began on Fontana Dam! Three years later, on January 20, 1945, the first power was generated at the highest dam east of the Mississippi River. Fontana Dam also makes a scenic stop for hikers on the Appalachian Trail! #TBT

Independence Day is on Monday so we pulled out this really patriotic photo of Douglas Dam being dedicated in March 1943. TVA built Douglas for the war effort in only 13 months! 🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🎆 #TBT

The damage caused by The Great Flood of 1917 in Chattanooga was catastrophic. While 2020 has been the wettest year on record, our system of dams allows us to manage the Tennessee River and its tributaries river to keep this type destruction at bay! #TBT

Throwback to the construction of the West Thompson Lake Dam in 1965. The dam is one of the six flood control structures built on the river. This network helps control flooding all the way from the upstream tributaries of the Thames River to the Long Island Sound. #USACE #History
