Annual St. Francis Dam lecture and tour continues to draw interest
Despite early morning rain, the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society did its annual St. Francis Dam lecture and tour on Saturday. Attendees met at College of the Canyons in Valencia to learn about how the failure of the St. Francis Dam at midnight, March 12, 1928, killed more than 400 people, leveled farms and homesteads, and destroyed property and livestock.
