You know what the most amazing part of this video is? The fact that there was no graffiti everywhere. Beautiful
Yeah, graffiti is so trash. Makes everything look so much worse.
It's difficult to keep the animals out,
That guy has a lot of dam information
Shoot that's an idea 💡 a Fish and fry You catch we fry and a bait shop in that dam place
Some of it was BS
It had to be said
9:55 random fire extinguisher
I just know some dam stuff, still got much to learn!
Look at the ceiling here, NO leaks.
Then look here, the government, leaks, leaks, leaks. 😂
Very cool tour. Thanks for taking us along.
I caught that lol
Glad you enjoyed it!

Nobody likes to be trickled on.
Wrong! Without big government, the South would never have developed. It wasn't profitable for private companies to develop poor, rural areas. Only the government could do that. Of course, that is why the South used to be solidly Democratic. They knew things you apparently don't.
These kinds of structures are really my worst nightmare, imagine falling in the water and getting trapped or sucked down in the turbines... Bleeeh 😅
Nightmares. Even the word "turbines" creeps me out
Simple solution, don't fall in.
That whirlpool and visit from the ancestors! Big fat nope from me too
I don’t think the turbines are still moving
@@pederolsen3489 doesn't matter! 😬
Absolutely a big fan of anything industrial related that's abandoned.
I remember watching explore of this on another channel, nice to see your version.
Need to go there again with underwater drone.
Big fan? No pun intended?
@@greensteve9307
Underwater drone lol
Big fan LMAO
I guess turbines are big ol dam fans!
Nice it's not covered in graphity and all the old glass windows broken out. A time capsule treasure that people appreciate.
Great tour. Love this stuff especially when accompanied by someone that knows the history! 👍
I agree, Steven had an answer for everything question we had
@@MobileInstinct
You could charge for this video for these. 3 dollars a person ( a view ) just my idea. Ok have a nice day
@@MobileInstinct
Lol at the start. Lol.that guys name is black bigot ?
Lmao. man.....he has a sense of humor !
Glad you liked it!
I wish I could explore this kind of stuff! Old stuff just fascinates me!!!!
Will you can guaranteed there's places all around you in the area that you live you just have to find them
Cr gt very true!
Then come visit us at the dam some time! We are open for history and Paranormal tours!
*Steven was a fantastic guide! I love it when a docent actually knows what they're talking about* !!
really interesting that at lot of that structure predated the TVA
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the tour!
The structure is thousands of years old just like the rest of the old buildings.
*Guy who gave tour deserves big thanks* !!!
That tour guide is absolutely terrific. I love his enthusiasm.
That was absolutely incredible. What I love about places like days, and the kinds of places that you explore, is that at some point in history these locations meant a great deal to somebody, or maybe even a lot of people. And now, apart from a small minority of people, they are completely forgotten to the world.
The crane was in there to change anything from parts to an entire generator at once that's why the cranes lifting capacity is equal to or greater than the weight of 1 entire generator cuz they aren't able to get heavy equipment in those places. They do that in all generator and pump rooms still today, install permanent electric lifts to service the super heavy electric motors and generator parts that can not be accessed by cranes from the outside
I suppose that's more cost effective than just abandoning any of the 14 generators when there is a failure. Seems very surprising to some, but yes the idea of having a 30 ton gantry crane built in to the structure is certainly part of the original design. Anything man made CAN and WILL eventually break. Those generators would need something stronger than a few men to remove for maintenance.
@@ecaparts not really anything to do with cost effectiveness. Once those were in place the ceiling was concrete as he said. So no other way to move them
@@biohazardlnfS Yes I get it. I was being sarcastic. There must be a way to maintain the equipment. This crane would have been part of the original design of building.
@@ecaparts It was pretty typical to install the Gantry crane(s) as soon as possible during construction so they could then use them to move all of the heavy Generator parts (Turbines, stators, crates of windings , rotors , and Power transformers
@@kls2020 This is correct. The cranes were put in at the correct time. Not too soon . Or they will hinder other phases of the construction process . I have a life time of pipe welding/heavy industrial maint. exp. to say this. Yes, you are correct about using the cranes throughout the life of the plant.
I love how the tour guide was talking about the catwalk and Ghost Adventures
Best video I've seen on this place yet! Everyone else seems to focus on the paranormal, bypassing the fascinating history this place holds. Loved it! 😎🌊‼️
After the 80 feet was mentioned along with the whirlpool being talked about I got the creeps and shivers. Had to pause it for a second and compose myself.
Fun fact: you're behind a screen and you aren't in danger. If the video is online nobody died.
@@CorelUser ☺ 👋
But you’re ok with the bodies behind the wall???
Ewwww!!!
@@jimbot67nite14 😊👋
Get a grip dude
“Keep your mind on your business,” good advice.
Excellent tour!! Steven is a great tour guide. Thanks for the adventure
Thank you for the compliment, I try my hardest!!
@@TheDamGuide yvw
Guys, that was a great tour. loads of info, knowledge and the before and after pics were great. I love this stuff. Keep the history alive!!
Most unexpected ending ever! 😮😂
Have seen several Utubers go here but you gave the best tour. the previous owner used the main floor as inside storage, hence the boat and carriage.
We actually brought the hearse in ourselves! It was in use up to 5 years ago, thought it'd make a nice trigger object!
I've seen a few explores here over the many years of my RUclips watching , but yours has definitely been the best and most informative to date, for me....Thanks man, keep up the great work you do in your videos!🤙☮
Go check out explore with us Bob and Emma you would like their videos
@@crgt4628 i will do that...thanks!
Thank You for the awesome Tour...Must have been something back in the day!
This was tons more fun and interesting then I thought it was going to be. Well done.
Great tour! Thank you. Pieces of a day gone.
I have learned so much more about my country since I started watching these videos, and I'm always eagerly awaiting the next one. Your fact finding is amazing and you never seem to "run on and on" with useless information. The important questions, however, always get answered. Each video seems to be the perfect length for the subject. Finally, I have to say, you have one of the most pleasant narrating voices I've heard on RUclips, with rarely a stutter. I sincerely hope you enjoy making these videos, at least half as much as we love watching them. (They should make your videos mandatory viewing in history classes) Thanks so much!
Was interesting to see the stockpile of 10" suspensions in their original crates, McGraw-Edison, Pinco and Ohio Brass Standard Duty as well as Fog Type ANSI grey and brown units stockpiled.
For those wondering about the boat. The owner of the marina next door used the large room for boat storage at one time. That why the covered the generator hole in the floor. Cool to see the tour. I've fished around the building a few times but never got to go inside. They blew up the dam
beyond the powerhouse enough for boat traffic. But it still goes all the way across the river, just 15-20 feet under the surface. I didn't even know about the tunnel!
Steven was a superb guide. Really knowledgable and passionate. Great video Chris. thankyou for sharing
Thank you for the praise!
Someone PLEASE underwater drone this thing!!
Do they have underwater drones??
Visibility goes only up to 6 inches
Love this video about this huge dam which left abandoned after so many years, nice to see mr. Lamont at large which I know from other videos.....Very interested to see all of this dam and I might say that most stay in contact and not much vandalism overthere.... Thanks for the info on this huge dam in Tennessee state, the Old Hales bare dam ....
Hey Chris. This is one of your best, and the ending is just plain 1950's TERROR!!! Love it!
What an excellent tour!!
The narration of this video is SUPERB. Thank you.
This was a really interesting explore. Glad you had Steve with you- he really brought this place to life.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
One of the best explore videos I came across. Fantastic guide, great editing with photos, drone footage, and memes. Well done!
It's good to see they are doing tours here again.
Thanks again, your videos are the best. Love this local history.
That was interesting as hell. Thx. I like old stuff like that door. Love to find stuff like that.
Heck of dam tour! Thanks for sharing!
Really cool. The guide is well informed. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the praise!
That scream at the end from Lamont is epic.
This was amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Great vid, it was nice to see this tour after only ever seeing this place on GA.
Excellent video, love the antics.
You put on a very magnetic show.
Thanks again for the quality entertainment, and History.
🇺🇸✌️👍
This is my third or fourth time coming back to re-watch this. Great, and very interesting video!
Hahaha!!! Poor Lamont. Seems to always get it at the end. Thank you for the awesome tour of that place!
Very interesting! Loved seeing this place! Thanks for the great video!
Very cool!!! I loved how the control panels were made out of real marble and hand painted, very interesting 👍🏻👍🏻
That was pretty cool..thanks for the tour!
Steven, Chris and Lamont.....THANK YOU for this incredible video. I learned a lot from it !
OMG. I used to love to go fishing here at the marina, but I didn’t know the history. This is great... and I love Lamont! Thanks
Thats crazy thanks sooo much for that tour
Couldn't find the video til now, it was great having you out there man!!
This tour guide is pretty awesome. Great video too!
You're awesome!
How excited Lamont got when the guy mentioned graveyards 😂😂😂. I love your videos!
Not sure if you take suggestions, but there’s an abandoned mountain highway called the Ridge Route in Southern California. It’s high above I-5 between Gorman and Santa Clarita, and it’s been virtually untouched since the 1930s. Most of the original concrete is intact and it was the most expensive and advanced infrastructure project in US history at that point. Hardly anyone knows its there now, but I hike my dog up there every now and then and its littered with old reminders that it used to be the only road that connected Bakersfield CA to Los Angeles. I love your channel and it would be cool to see someone like you shed some light on such an important but forgotten stretch of road
Fascinating
We took a Valentine's Day ghost tour there this past year! It was a lot of fun! Plus getting to explore the building itself was cool and we saw that whirlpool when it was at one of it's deepest points, definitely intimidating.
We love the subject matter and presentation of these videos!
Great tour! Thanks.
Now this was a DAMN good video Chris:) Interesting that they would move all of those old electronics to another location.
great tour. Steven is an excellent guide. Thank you for the video.
Steve was a great tour guy...Chris another brilliant video..love the ending with Lamont and the spider and you running away....stay safe
Glad you liked the tour!
Thanks for another amazing video...
Lamonts last screan was perfect... haha. Great job once again.
Awesome adventure very interesting and informative. Thanks so much 😃👍
Awesome video!👍👍 thanks for sharing!😎
Awesome video, brought back some childhood memories. My dad was a power station operator for years. It was a creepy building to say the least. Not to mention these plants are crazy loud when running.
I've wanted to see the inside of that for decades! When I first saw the big sign painted on it, I thought it was a place to have a midafternoon beer.
Maybe you can get special dispensation to go down into the nearby raccoon mountain pumped storage generator plant? It was open to the public until 9/11/01. 1200' elevator down to a gallery overlooking the generators. Painted with bright colos coding, it really was a thing of beauty.
Really enjoyed this. I've seen this dam in haunted videos before. Good to see it in daylight. Very interesting. Thank you.
Thanks for this new YT clip from your good series. I really like it whenever you can start each tour with historical info. because some YT explorers cannot reveal the site's name for us watchers.
Hi Chris, that place really is awesome, so much history wrapped up in one location. Poor Lamont I don't fancy his chances escaping that spider, I bet he is all wound up in a neat parcel of web by now 😜😁. Thanks for the tour, much love. xx🤘💖
What a great tour guide!
- thanks for your awesome video... Great Job !!!
Was nice to have a guided tour instead of some noob just guessing what things were used for. (common in many urbex flicks)
The building is my passion, I just hope I represent it well enough!
I love old derelict stuff like this.Could watch clips like this all day
I don't know much about dams either but I found this very interesting! Thanks for sharing! Pat
Thanks for the Dam tour.
Great video. This is the kind of video that RUclipsrs should aspire to. Great camera work, very good dialogue, good sound. Bravo!
I was supposed to visit the dam last summer. Maybe next. Thanks for a great video
Thank you for the video,I 'm a big fan of Lamont too
I’m going to book a tour with these guys. Looks like a lot of fun!
The spider at the end totally got me! 🤣😂 I'm going to have to check this place out, it looks awesome! Also, how on earth does that guy know so much about the dam?
I enjoyed the video and learned a few things. Great job guys.
EXCELLENT CHRIS,,AND FRIEND...WOW...STAY WELL
Cool video, thanks for the history!
I cross that bridge just down the way from that place, driving on I-24 all the time. Now I know what it is! TN is gorgeous in that area.
Great video as always Chris, Great to watch your travels going back awhile i remember the China plate factory up in Michigan i think have you been back since. Keep Safe as always. Bill
Thanks! Great tour!
That was an awesome tour 👍🏼
Awesome. Steven was great! Hello Lamont.
Awesome Chris!
Absolutely fascinating, especially since I live in a place whose local electric utility got its start with hydroelectric power.
great tour steve
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this video, I'm sure this place can be very treacherous if you're not careful. It was great that you had a knowlegable guide.
Glad you liked the tour!
Awesome tour and love the ending messing with Lamont and the big ass spider 😂
Very interesting thanks for all your work.
Very interesting stuff. Keep up the good work.
10:00, you can hear some type of screaming before you turned off the light. Love the history . The ending was the best.
