IMMERSED REMAINS:
Towns Submerged in America

January 21, - March 27, 2005
Reception on Friday, February 4 / 7:30 pm

Elbowoods, North Dakota; Kennett, California; Enfield, Massachusetts; Neversink, New York; Butler, Tennessee; St. Thomas, Nevada. Each of these towns represents a different element of America's development. Yet they all share the same fate: they, and hundreds of other communities like them, were vacated, demolished and flooded to make way for dams and reservoirs. Their remnants persist, preserved underwater, and sometimes emerge, as reminders of what was not allowed to be.
