A History of NYC’s Water System with Diane Galusha
In 1880, John Burroughs, paddling a hand-made boat, floated down a river that today provides millions of NYC residents with water. Diane Galusha will present a study in contrasts, sharing excerpts from Burroughs' "Pepacton: A Summer Voyage," and her own book, " Liquid Assets: A History of New York City's Water System." She is author of several other books of local & regional history. "Liquid Assets," was first published in 1999 and expanded in 2016. She is President of the Historical Society of the Town of Middletown and serves as the town's municipal historian.
The John Burroughs Woodchuck Lodge Wild Saturdays Series is supported by a grant from the Catskill Watershed Corporation.
