| | The '''Waterbury Dam''' was built between 1935-1938 by 2,000 men working for the Corps of Engineers, [[United States Army]], to serve as one of three dams to control the flow of Little River, [[Vermont]], Winooski River and its tributaries. In 1927, flood waters from the Winkoosi River killed over 55 people and caused an estimated $13,000,000 in damage. Along with flood control, the dam also generates electric energy, generating an average of 15 million kilowatt of hours each year. | | The '''Waterbury Dam''' was built between 1935-1938 by 2,000 men working for the Corps of Engineers, [[United States Army]], to serve as one of three dams to control the flow of Little River, [[Vermont]], Winooski River and its tributaries.
