"HISTORY FOR JULY 7TH, THE HOOVER DAM"




Hello, this is Miss G with Little House of Music and I have very interesting history that happened on this day.

On July 7, 1930 the building of the Hoover Dam began. Over the next five years a total of 21,000 men worked ceaselessly to produce what would be the largest dam of its time as well as one of the largest man made structures in the world. The dam is in Black Canyon, on the Colorado River and borders Arizona and Nevada. The Hoover Dam was named for our 31St President Herbert Hoover.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
You didn't know you were so smart!
Stayed tuned for more exciting history events and music events.
