Celebrating Lake
Cumberland’s Fifty-Year Anniversary
Kentucky’s Water Wonderland, The Story of
Lake Cumberland, is an entertaining and informative video
program tracing the origins of the construction of Wolf Creek
Dam, near Jamestown, Ky. The dam backed up the Cumberland River
for more than 100 miles to form the 50,000 acres of water that
was renamed Lake Cumberland by an Act of Congress in 1952.
The 50-minute video features historic, color
film of the building of the dam, the moving of the city of Old
Burnside and the filling up of Lake Cumberland in early 1951.
Dam workers, residents who were forced to move and people who
began Lake Cumberland’s marinas are among more than 20 people
featured in interviews recalling the emergence of the area as a
water paradise.
Available on DVD.
