Agra, KS—Citizens work to restore dam
Agra Lake and Park – West edge of Agra – 1/2 mile
north of U.S. 36, Agra, Phillips County.
Agra Lake and Park was built from 1934 to 1938
by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration. The
35-acre site located on the west edge of Agra was nominated under Criterion A as
part of the New
Deal-era Resources of Kansas multiple
property submission for its association with the government work programs of the
1930s. In addition to an earthen dam and spillway, the current site includes two
limestone entrance markers, two limestone shelter houses, a limestone bathhouse,
and two limestone privies. Although the lakebed is now dry, its original
capacity was 143-acre feet.
