Norris Dam was the first dam TVA built, finished in 1936 and named for George Norris, the Nebraska senator who championed the law that created TVA. The land started as a recreation area for the workers who built it and became a state park in 1953, with CCC-era cabins and a 1798 grist mill near the town of Norris. The water let out below the dam runs so cold the Clinch holds trout all year.

The design: the long, straight concrete wall of Norris Dam between autumn ridges, with Norris Lake behind it and the Clinch River below, drawn in a flat vintage park-poster style inside a Tri-Star red frame, with NORRIS DAM up top, TENNESSEE PRIDE® below and the Tri-Star on the left sleeve.

Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001: soft, lightweight, with just the right amount of stretch.

• 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester)
• Fabric weight: 4.2 oz./yd.² (142 g/m²)
• Pre-shrunk fabric
• Side-seamed construction
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping

Every park design is an illustration in a vintage poster style. We simplify each scene to make a good poster, so it won't match the park detail for detail. Colors can also look a little different in person than on your screen.

About the place

Norris Dam State Park

Norris Dam, a plain concrete wall 265 feet high across the Clinch River, was finished in March 1936 and named for George Norris, a Nebraska senator who had long pressed for public power in the valley. Its lake displaced about 2,900 families. Civilian Conservation Corps crews built the park's cabins of wood on stone piers and rebuilt a gristmill from 1798 on Clear Creek, and in 1942 those cabins took in Manhattan Project workers from nearby Oak Ridge.
