Holland, Tina (University of Georgia graduate)

Tina Holland is interviewed by a Smoky Mountain High School student as a part of Mountain People, Mountain Lives: A Student Led Oral History Project. Holland moved to Fontana, NC in 1979 and spent time researching and interviewing Dam Kids and other people involved with the Fontana Dam. She talks about both the good and the bad that came out of the dam project. She also stresses that parts of Graham County still have a very rich mountain culture and how the Stecoah Valley Center came to be. She gives a history of the Road to Nowhere, encourages listeners to visit Fontana Dam and to participate in the summer boat trips to the North Shore Cemeteries.
