This is a remote presentation offered by the Quabbin Visitor Center.
Elisabeth Rosenberg, author of Before the Flood: Destruction, Community, and Survival in the Drowned Towns of the Quabbin, will be discussing the construction of the Quabbin Reservoir and the Depression-era "communities of necessity" that developed between the residents of the doomed Swift River Valley towns and the engineers sent to the valley to remove them. The talk will be structured around audience questions and answers.
