Stewart’s Dam, in Hadley, New York, on the Sacandaga River, holds back the Stewart Bridge Reservoir, one of the largest reservoirs in America to be contained by an earthen dam. Farther upstream is the Conklingville Dam which creates the Great Sacandaga Lake.

Famous quotes containing the words stewart and/or dam:
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
“The devil take one party and his dam the other!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
