History Night presentation planned at Memorial Hall
The final PowerPoint presentation of the year will detail the creation of the Great Western Power Company as part of History Night, scheduled tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 19, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Veteran’s Memorial Hall, 225 Gay St., in Chester.
The discussion will highlight the company’s acquisition of tens of thousands of acres of land in Big Meadows, and the construction of two dams in the North Fork of the Feather River.
Hosted by local historian and museum director Marilyn Quadrio, it is a story full of drama, betrayal and unstoppable progress that impacted the lives of many thousands for the next 100 years.
