Description
Photo of a photograph of three unidentified men at the Triplett Dam and Powerhouse near Woodstock, Virginia.
The photograph was made following the 1910 flood that damaged the powerhouse.
Today the site is home to Burnshire Dam.
This dam was originally the site of Rush's Mill before being purchased by J.I. Triplett in 1873. Triplett eventually converted the site into a hydroelectric dam which was destroyed in the 1910 flood and later rebuilt.
