On October 3, 1963, President John F. Kennedy mounted the speaker’s stand overlooking the recently completed Greers Ferry Dam near Heber Springs (Cleburne County) to dedicate the dam officially. Kennedy complimented the Arkansas congressional delegation in attendance and spoke of the prosperity that the dam and lake would bring to the area. Here, Kennedy is shown greeting Congressman Wilbur Mills.
