The 51 Tunnels That Saved Twin Falls

Dr. Jim Gentry joins Johanna to talk about a little-known story from Twin Falls history that demonstrates the resilience of communities during booming or stressful times.

While completing his dissertation he became inspired to research and write local history. Since 2003 he has completed four local histories: In the Middle and on the Edge. The Twin Falls Region of Idaho in 2003, Meeting Needs and Developing Opportunities. A History of the College of Southern Idaho in 2015, Transformations. A History of First Baptist Church of Twin Falls, Idaho in 2020 and, most recently, The 51 Tunnels that Saved Twin Falls: Twin Falls Canal Company’s Bold Solution to a Big Drainage Surprise.
