Hoover Dam submerged a town in 1935; Lake Mead is revealing it again

The receding waters of Lake Mead have unveiled the eerie remnants of St. Thomas, a ghost town in Nevada. Originally a thriving Mormon settlement founded in 1865, it was swallowed by rising waters after the Hoover Dam was built in 1938. Now, the lakebed displays its foundations, allowing history enthusiasts a rare opportunity to connect with a bygone era of agricultural significance.
