Construction of the dam began in 1910, and it was only after four years, in 1914, that the construction was completed. The total construction cost of the dam was well over $1.4 million at the time. The dam would then be acquired by a group of farmers in 1935 who formed the Eastern Irrigation District. After 70 years of construction, the dam underwent rehabilitation due to deterioration.

Please stop near the beautiful dam and take photos of it as you go through Bassano!
