Summary
Built during the Great Depression, the Bagnell Dam was America’s largest construction project at the time, employing 20,000 workers and powering 500,000 homes while creating the iconic Lake of the Ozarks. Though it displaced communities, it reshaped Missouri’s landscape into a thriving tourism hub. Today, after a century of service, it still generates power for 42,000 homes, standing as a living monument to American engineering and resilience.
