Geocache Description:

This is what remains of the Chimney Rock Dam.

1925 - The Ku Klux Klan, riding a wave of statewide popularity, elects a majority in the Longmont City Council. The Council began ousting longtime City officials and replacing them with Klan members.

1926 - City Council, controlled by the Klan, votes to build Chimney Rock Dam, a combination water storage and hydropower project, located just above the existing Longmont Dam on the North St. Vrain. Cost estimates rise from $85,000 to $350,000.

1927 - All Klan candidates for City Council are defeated in the April election, and construction is halted on Chimney Rock Dam.
