This week, we explore the history of Henderson, Arkansas, once a key point for transportation and mail, with vital ferry connections. In time, this small town gained a beautiful bridge that spanned the North Fork of the White River. Within a decade, we witness the cost of progress as families lose loved ones during the construction of the Norfork Dam, and the community of Henderson is submerged beneath the waters of Norfork Lake.
