November 15, 2011

Experience the Philadelphia Riverwards’ history through engaging stories, video, photos and actual artifacts from archeological digs under I-95. Learn about Gunner’s Run – the intact canal under Aramingo Avenue and Native American settlements from 4000 BC that lie just beneath your feet.

 A similar, but smaller, event was held last year. This year, there will be more tables with artifacts, and a completely new station exploring what people from the past ate.

Also new: Drexel University Digital Media students will be on hand to record your memories of life along the Delaware River.  The recordings will be used to start a digital audio archive of life along the Delaware River. Learn more from past coverage.

Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the NEW Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 1901 N. Front Street, Philadelphia, PA 19122.

 Free parking lots next to entrance, directly across the Berks station stop.
