About this event

Architect William Bialosky digs under Chinatown's pavements in this illustrated evening talk about Collect Pond, the freshwater lake that once supplied Manhattan before it was filled in and built over. An hour of city history told through the ground itself, delivered in the museum that stands on top of it. Reserve a ticket in advance.
