Join us this Thursday at 6 p.m. for Drowned Towns: The Hidden History of Hydropower in the West. Throughout the twentieth century, hundreds of communities vanished beneath reservoirs, displaced by massive dam projects built for irrigation, hydroelectricity and flood control. Hear how displaced communities responded to their removal, what was lost and what it means to call the West home. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/drowned-towns-the-hidden-history-of-hydropower-in-the-west-tickets-1996179421385
