Conowingo Dam: Power on the Susquehanna

Posted on by

From its construction atop the Susquehanna riverbed, to ancient native American carvings, to the drowning of a small upriver village, and a tense battle against a Storm of the Century… Conowingo Dam’s saga is a tale that has waited nearly 90 years to be told!
