Art for Lunch: Allatoona and Monticello Dam

Wednesday, April 3, 12:15 pm
Booth Ballroom & Facebook Live

Georgia’s Allatoona Dam (1949) and California’s Monticello Dam (1957) are two of the many dams completed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. In the 1960 visual essay Death of a Valley, photographers Dorothea Lange and Pirkle Jones documented Monticello Dam’s construction and how it marked the end of Berryessa Valley. According to Lange and Jones, this resulted from America’s increasing water needs. Completed years before, Allatoona Dam was a precursor to Monticello in its design and construction. Today, both dams symbolize the ongoing need for fresh water. Christopher Purvis, the US Army Corp of Engineers Lead Ranger at Allatoona Lake, will present the origins and history of Allatoona Dam and how it compares to its western counterpart, Monticello Dam.
