About a week ago, a follower on facebook asked about photos of the Sand Creek Dam. We do have several in our Photograph Collection dating from 1910 to the 1960s. This post is a selection of those photographs. I would also note that we need photographs from more modern times as well. Someday, people will be interested what the area looked like in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. If you have photos, we can scan them into our collection, and you could keep the original if you like. This is true for any photographs of a more recent history, we would love to see them.
Enjoy this Photo Album of the Sand Creek Dam near Athletic Park.
