Thirsty in Early San Francisco: A Very Localized Search for Water - SFHS Program with Joel Pomerantz

In the first couple years of early San Francisco, there were few creeks in the vicinity. The ones that did flow were quickly scooped up, claimed by pushy speculators who then sold the water. Joel will help you understand how settlers of the town got their water as San Francisco grew into a city. We’ll explore how the water challenges that residents faced wove into the stories of the water sources available. With a focus on the area around our museum and headquarters, Joel will help us feel as if we were there. Joel Pomerantz explores San Francisco’s hidden landscape, asking how things got to be the way they are from the natural settings that existed before. His projects include Thinkwalks (custom exploration events) and the Seep City Water History Map, now available as a high quality shower curtain or poster. This program was live-streamed on May 10, 2022 from the SFHS Museum in San Francisco.
