Cemeteries Flooded by the Grand Coulee Dam The Grand Coulee Dam
began construction in 1933 along the Columbia River in Eastern
Washington, and was completed in 1942, with modifications made
between 1967 to 1974, and 1982 to 1988. Certain cemeteries
located near the banks of the Columbia in places that were
expected to be flooded had to be evacuated, and bodies relocated
to other cemeteries. Note: to contribute your research to this
