Historic Hoover DAM – We’re back!
We’re happy to finally have our  program with Hoover DAM! Formerly called Boulder Dam, it is named in honor of Herbert Hoover, the U.S President during whose administration (1929–33) construction began and whose work, as commerce secretary in the 1920s, secured agreements necessary for the project to proceed. Erected during the Great Depression, the dam was a major endeavor that employed thousands of workers. Approximately 100 fatalities occurred during its construction. Legislation was passed by Congress in 1931 to officially name the dam for Hoover. Hoover Dam extends for 115 miles (185 km) upstream and has one of the largest artificial lakes in the world. The dam is used for flood and hydro-electric power, agricultural irrigation, and domestic water supply. It is, also, a major sightseeing destination, with some seven million visitors a year, almost one million of whom go on tours through the dam.

Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site
The comfort and opportunities inherent in the wealthy, Victorian-era home and family life that Roosevelt experienced as a youth helped him overcome a potentially limiting childhood illness and develop into an intellectually and physically bold adult who welcomed and successfully navigated numerous challenges in his public life. That same intrepid and ambitious approach to life developed in his youth led him to build a successful political career in spite of the restrictions common to members of the upper class in the late 19th century. Join us as we take a tour of Theodore Roosevelt’s home, room by room! The emphasis here is on TR’s youth, but we’ll cover the effect of his early years on his later life, including the presidency.
