  • F&F Episode 10: From Homestead to Lakebed... the Cost of Eminent Domain
    2025/04/25

    What happens when the government decides your home is in the way of progress? In this episode, we talk with Glenna Bloom, whose grandparents' farm now sits beneath the waters of Curwensville Lake. Their story is one of forced change, resilience, and remembering what was lost when Lumber City and surrounding communities were displaced in the name of flood control. From burned barns to courtroom battles over mineral rights, Glenna shares a glimpse into the real cost of Eminent Domain... far beyond dollars and deeds.
