Before the Swift River Valley was cleared and flooded, 23,000 acres were taken along the Ware River in Barre, Oakham, Rutland and Hubbardston in a project designed to supplement the waters of the new reservoir. 350 people lost their homes in the project and three villages were removed. Join Maria Beiter-Tucker, Quabbin Visitor Center Manager, to learn more about the other lost valley, why it was cleared and the role the Ware River Watershed plays in protecting the water supply of 3 million Massachusetts residents.
