Hinckley Dam

At our October 4th meeting a guest speaker, Wayne Getman, spoke on the Hinckley Dam project, which was the largest concrete dam in the world at the time of its construction. It took more than three years to complete and opened in 1915. the same year as the Panama Canal. He had books on the project for sale at $12.00 which contained over 100 vintage photos. The book is also available at the Newport History Center on Main St in Newport.
