About the event

Tocks Island: Dammed If You Do
David Pierce, author, journalist, and former DWGNRA Park Ranger,
will discuss the1962 federal plan to dam the Delaware River near Tocks Island. He will describe how thousands of people lost their homes, farms, camps, and businesses for what became an expanded national recreation area, without the originally planned dam and 37-mile-long reservoir. Various maps depicting the project will be on display.

Following his presentation, Pierce will sell signed copies of his book, Tocks Island: Dammed If You Do—The Homegrown Movement that Defeated the Delaware River Dam, published in 2023.

The program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will follow the presentation, which is being sponsored by the Historical Society’s 2025 Business Partner, Brookfield Renewable Energy.
