Lecture: Lost Creeks of Philadelphia with Adam E. Levine

Co-curator of the exhibition Lost Creeks of Philadelphia, Adam Levine will discuss why and how, between the 1760s and the 1960s, hundreds of miles of the Philadelphia’s surface streams were channeled into underground sewers that became integral to the drainage of the expanding urban grid and how this work still affects the city today.

The lecture starts at 6pm. Come early to view the exhibition on its opening night, downstairs in the Athenaeum's Haas Gallery.
