NORWAY HYDRO ELECTRIC PLANT
In the 1920’s, two events occurred that forever changed the character of White County. In 1923, Norway Dam was completed creating Lake Shafer north of Monticello. Two years later, Oakdale Dam was built forming Lake Freeman a few miles south of Monticello. The twin lakes established White County as one of Indiana’s leading tourism attractions and the two hydro-electric dams are one of Indiana’s forms of green energy.
