Join City Historian, Anthony Opalka,
and a representative from the city's water department for an encore
presentation of a walk/talk of Albany's Beaver Creek. While construction on
Lincoln Park is underway and the original path of Beaver Creek has been
daylighted to some extent, this is the perfect time to discuss the use of
Beaver Creek in the 17th and 18th centuries and to discuss the evolution of the
city and its effects on waterways. We will follow the original path of Beaver
Creek and discuss how it has been redirected by humans over time. The talk
begins at Schuyler Mansion, in the Visitors Center. Space is limited. Call the museum to register: 518-434-0834.
