Rexburg Man Sharing Photos and Memories of Teton Dam Flood on its 45th Anniversary



REXBURG – If you could go back in time 45 years, Rexburg would look very different.

Many people have clear memories of the landscape and businesses that are now long gone. But the events of one day, in particular, have never been forgotten.

On June 5, 1976, the Teton Dam broke.


“I remember those days well,” Rick Davis of Rexburg tells EastIdahoNews.com. “There were friends everywhere whose businesses were ruined that day.”

Davis got word of the dam’s collapse and had about four hours to help family and friends move belongings and equipment to higher ground where it would be safe. Despite the panic from the unknown, Davis thought it was important to document the day with pictures.

  By Brian Howard for Rexburg Commons   Teton, Idaho — In a small town nestled at the base of the Grand Teton mountains, Jade Koyle, the president of Grand Teton Ancient Grains, is on a mission to preserve the legacy of einkorn wheat.
