St. Francis Dam Memorial 5/16/26 Tour Commemorates 1928 Disaster

The mission is to raise money to help the United States Forest Service build a visitor's center and memorial wall at the newly established St. Francis Dam National Memorial and National Monument just north of Santa Clarita, California. The St. Francis Dam burst on the evening of March 12, 1928 killing over 400 people in the ensuing flood. It is the second largest disaster in California history.

The St. Francis Dam Disaster National Memorial and National Monument was created on March 12, 2019 by an act of Congress and signed into law by the President of the United States.
