KNOXVILLE, TN – In celebration of its 90th anniversary, the Tennessee Valley Authority is opening several of its dams for
public tours, some for the first time since 9/11.
Tours will be offered at the following locations and dates:
-
-
- Norris Dam – August 11
- Chickamauga Dam – August 25
- Wilson Dam – August 4 and August 18
- Pickwick Dam – September 8

To ensure that visitors can enjoy the “Built for the People” complimentary experiences, TVA is limiting the number of visitors for each tour and will randomly draw names from the list of requests for each dam. Winners will be notified about how they can join the tours.
Details and entry forms are available online at www.tva.com/90. Anyone interested in taking a tour can sign up at that link starting on Monday, July 10. Tour registration closes on July 23.
TVA was created with the signing of the TVA Act by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 18, 1933. Management of the Tennessee River and its tributaries was and still is one of our primary missions.
TVA manages an integrated system of 49 dams across the Tennessee River system, including 29 hydro-power dams. For more information on our river operations, visit https://www.tva.com/environment/managing-the-river.
