The ghost town Wallpack in Pennsylvania

The beginning of the 60s: the US government decided to build hydroelectric power plant downstream of the river. As a result, all the surrounding land was flooded. Work on the project was led by the Engineering corps of the American army. All the local people were against the creation of hydroelectric power, but it did not help.
