A post June 1972 photograph of the rebuilding of Lykens, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
Photo Caption: Mobile homes supplied by the Federal Government for Lykens residents whose homes were not habitable following flood.
Without the help of the Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Government, the hardships which the people of Lykens suffered following the flood, would have been insurmountable.
The Army Corps of Engineers were on the scene in Lykens within a short time to help in the restoration projects and at several contracts to private contractors to do much of the repairing of streets and the developing of a temporary trailer park.
