Old Postcard: Kentucky Dam, Western Kentucky
"TVA'S Great Kentucky Dam- across the Tennessee River in Western Kentucky- was built from 1938-1944 at a cost of $115,000,000.
The Gigantic dam, 206 feet high and 8,412 feet long creates the Kentucky Lake, which is 184 miles long and has a shoreline of 2,4000 miles- the largest man made lake in the world."
