In most cases the proposed reservoir would have extended upriver to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The project was part of a program of as many as sixteen major dams in the Potomac watershed, most of which were never built. The earliest proposals for exploitation of hydropower on the Potomac were made in the 1880s. By the 1920s the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reviewed the possibilities for hydroelectric power. After a new study mandated by Congress in 1936-37, the Corps of Engineers in 1938 pro...

12 Best Tourist Attractions in Virginia USA

Fairfax County, Virginia: Connect with America

The Great Falls of the Potomac are one of the great overlooked outdoor adventure spots in the US. Long known and beloved by local paddlers and climbers, they’re just not on the radar of the broader public, which is surprising, given how amazing of a place it is.

The same could be said in general for Fairfax County, Virginia. This place has its own homespun charm and hospitality; it’s basically the northernmost edge of the South. Here you’ll find some of the most unique cultural spots in the country, from Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts (the only national park for the performing arts in the US) to the Workhouse Arts Center, home base to more than 100 working artists (and with its own incredible legacy as a former correctional facility housing women jailed for protesting during the suffrage movement).

Visiting here gives you amazing access to the Smithsonian and all the sites of DC, but with a different vibe and a beauty all its own.

Northern Virginia Four Seasons - Things to Do near Washington DC

This is just a tiny snippet of things to do or see all year round in Northern Virginia, also known as NOVA (North Virginia). We've been living here for a while, and wanted to share some of the things we liked most about this area.

In the summer, it can be quite hot. Renting a boat in Burke Lake doesn't cost much at all, and is fun and cooling in the morning water.

Autumn is one of the best seasons in this area (including Washington DC and Maryland). The trees are vibrant and the weather is perfect. There are many activities such as apple picking and hiking not too far away.

Winter is usually mild, and it doesn't snow often. At least once each season, though, there is a beautiful white snowfall (perfect for watching wildlife as they flock to the bird feeders).

Spring can be bad for people with allergies, but at least there are many flowers blossoming, especially cherry blossoms (which you can see lots of nearby in Washington DC).

We hope that you liked this video, please subscribe for more. We will have more videos about our travels, and other topics, such as wildlife and creative short films.
