The River of Time Museum has opened its newest exhibit, “Orme Dam, The Dam That Never Was,” honoring the strength and determination of the Yavapai people in defeating the U.S. Government and construction of the Orme Dam.
Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Cultural Center Director Albert Nelson shared the history of how the building of Orme Dam would have flooded the entire Yavapai reservation and displace residents.
The exhibit features local artist Alan Pape’s interpretation of the government’s rendering of what Orme Dam and impounded water may have looked once the dam was fully functional.
