Saturday: Wingohocking bus tour hosted by the Wyck House 9am-1pm.
Explore the historic watersheds of Philadelphia as historian Adam Levine leads this exciting bus tour along the Wingohocking Creek. Philadelphia was once laced with a complex system of streams and their tributaries, until city engineers in the 19th and 20th centuries re-channeled most of these waterways into massive sewers that now run far beneath the streets. The Wingohocking now runs in a sewer draining several neighborhoods, including Mt. Airy and Germantown. Tour stops include the Awbury Arboretum and Belfield, home of Charles Wilson Peale. Adam will also share ways you can help protect the streams in your neighborhoods. Tour is co-sponsored with the Philadelphia Water Department. Pack a lunch or snack, water will be provided. Cost: $15 members, $17 non-members.
