Last weekend, on October 1st, Preservation Maryland members and supporters were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour at the Conowingo Dam, a hydroelectric dam in the lower Susquehanna River situated between Cecil and Howard counties.
Special thanks to Exelon, current operators of the dam, for offering Preservation Maryland the interesting opportunity to learn more about the Conowingo Dam’s history and present.
This event sold out! So make sure you are on our mailing list to receive updates about upcoming tours and events hosted by Preservation Maryland. And be sure to check out our statewide calendar of events that is continuously updated with recreational and educational events.
