Norris Dam isn’t just something to marvel at, the structure has helped the Tennessee Valley Authority power the area and surrounding states for nine decades. It’s hard to imagine now, but before 1933 only 2% of the rural community had access to power. #norris #norrisdam #norrislake #tva #power #tennessee #history #90thanniversary #andersoncounty | Beth Haynes | Facebook

Norris Dam is a symbol of American grit and engineering. 🇺🇸 The massive concrete structure is 265 feet high and stretches 1,860 feet across the Clinch River, creating a lake with 809 miles of shoreline. When completed in 1936, it helped power the Valley from the mountains of East Tennessee to the river shoals of Alabama. Along with the other dams in our hydro fleet, Norris continues to provide reliable, low-cost renewable hydropower for the region. Click on the link to get an up-close look ins
