This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features the Housatonic River Dam.
The Housatonic Water Co. was organized in 1866 for the purpose of erecting a dam across the river. The dam was built in 1870 near the present-day Yale Boathouse.
A short canal was built on the Derby side while a much longer canal was built on the Huntington side that later became Shelton.
On Jan. 21, 1891, the dam burst from damage wrought by freshets and ice blocks. Even after it was rebuilt, ice and heavy water flows continued to damage the Housatonic River Dam until the Stevenson Dam was built upriver in Monroe in 1918.

Young creators will enjoy this month's Take & Make kits, paper robots, from the Children's Room at the Ansonia Library!
These kits are designed to engage children in hands-on learning, allowing them to design and assemble paper robots using provided materials and instructions.
It's a great way to introduce basic engineering concepts and foster creativity at home.
