The Homeplace is a living history farm located in the Land Between the Lakes
National Recreation Area.  The site itself interprets the culture and
environment of 1850 but I think what you might find most interesting for your
study is the overall recreation area.  It is located between Kentucky Lake
and Lake Barkley--two man made lakes that were created when the Tennessee
Valley Authority flooded the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers.  In 1964, when
the National Recreation Area was created, several thousand people were
removed from the area formerly known as "Between the Rivers."  Anyway, I
think it might be a good case study for your work.
