The Lower Merion Conservancy is hosting a virtual presentation by Oliver Evans chapter member Bob Thomas.
Thursday, June 25th
7:00 p.m.
Free
The Conservancy is delighted to host Bob Thomas – architect, preservationist, greenway planner, and avid cyclist – for a lecture event about Philadelphia’s historic cycling culture. The lecture, which will touch on the growth of cycling in and around the city during the late nineteenth century, has heightened relevance due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a crisis that has moved many to take to their bikes.
The lecture will feature guest comments from local leaders in the cycling community of Greater Philadelphia about exciting upcoming developments.
The presentation will be accessed through the Zoom application. Registration is required for you to be sent the link to connect to the program. To register, click in the Conservancy’s newsletter linked below.
The newsletter also has two story maps that can be viewed. One is on historic neighborhoods along the Philadelphia and Western Railroad and the other is on the Mill Creek Valley and its industrial history.
