Title
Two views of Rumford Falls
Description
Two views of the Great Falls at Rumford illustrate the dramatic changes that took place there between the 1890s (top photo) and the 1930s (bottom photo) as the cataract was harnessed to produce electricity. During times of drought, most of the river water is channeled through the power station, leaving the falls nearly dry.
