Workers move a bunch of soil during construction of Dixon Dam, northeast of Vernon, in 1948. A great photo to celebrate National Soil Day today, Thursday, Dec. 5. Museum and Archives of Vernon Photo #578

Construction was busy on Dixon Dam, northeast of Vernon, in 1948. 

The picture from the Museum and Archives of Vernon shows workers moving around and grading the soil with their bulldozers.

It's a great photo as today, Thursday, Dec. 5, happens to be National Soil Day.
