Historical NoteReturn to Top
On June 5, 1976, the newly constructed Teton Dam in southeastern Idaho collapsed. Water contained in its filling reservoir surged through the Upper Snake River Valley, inundating whole communities, blanketing farm lands with debris, and disrupting the lives of thousands. In its wake, the flood's damages totaled hundreds of millions of dollars. But in addition to property losses were the personal losses for which there was no reparation.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
To better understand this loss, a program to gather and preserve personal accounts of the disaster was jointly undertaken by the Department of History and Geography of Utah State University, Ricks College and the Idaho State Historical Society. The oral histories obtained by these agencies provide recollections of the flood and its aftermath from the perspectives of individuals, families and communities. One hundred and twenty-four (124) interviews were completed and are now available for historical and scholarly research in the Department of Special Collections and Archives at Utah State University. .
