FUN HISTORY FACT

 THE NEW DAM, built in 1905, is still called the new dam to distinguish it from the old dam located upstream.  The dam provided power for Sandstone and surrounding area for almost 60 years.  In the early years, it was the sole source of Sandstone 's electrical power.

  1. Both dams are gone. Local residents of many years still refer to the "old" dam and the "new" dam site when talking about fishing, or scenic walking trails.
