The Story of the Hoover Dam explores the construction of this remarkable structure. It starts with the passage of the 1928 Boulder Canyon Project authorizing its construction. It explores the construction of the diversion tunnels, the dam, the support facilities that needed to be created to build it - like a steel fabrication plant that could build the giant sized pipes and the hydroelectric operations that made it a major supplier of electricity for California, Nevada and Arizona. It also explores how Lake Mead became a successful recreational area as the result of the construction of the Hoover Dam.
