The Story of Lake Cumberland: Kentucky's Water Wonderland.

Discover the fascinating history behind Lake Cumberland, one of Kentucky’s most beloved destinations. This introduction comes from the 50-minute documentary The Story of Lake Cumberland, which traces the origins of Wolf Creek Dam near Jamestown, Kentucky. Backed up for 101 miles, the dam created over 63,000 acres of water, officially renamed Lake Cumberland by an Act of Congress in 1952. Featuring rare color film footage, the documentary captures the dramatic construction of the dam, the relocation of Old Burnside, and the awe-inspiring moment the lake first began to fill in early 1951. With interviews from those who witnessed the transformation, this video offers an unforgettable look at how the region was forever changed into what is now the stunning Lake Cumberland. 🎥 Produced by Sentimental Productions of Cincinnati, Ohio. 👉 For more information or to order the full documentary (plus bonus features), visit: www.sentimentalonline.com #LakeCumberland #KentuckyHistory #WolfCreekDam #OldBurnside #CumberlandRiver #AmericanHistory #DocumentaryFilm #HistoricalDocumentary #SentimentalProductions #Americana
