[MassHistPres] Talk on Boston's architectural history, Waterworks Museum, Dec. 2 at 7pm

[Lee Wright]

Glad to see this posted here. 

One tip: Listing in the new weekly “Guide to History Events in Massachusetts.”  

The “Guide” is a weekly e-mail that goes out to 450+ (and growing) subscribers.  This is something that the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum has taken advantage of and is open to all.  There is no cost to list your event.

Here’s how to participate: Add the event to The History List (free) and it will be automatically included in the correct weekly e-mail messages.  A typical local organization can add an entire year of events in less than 30 minutes (i.e., spend 30 minutes once a year and get a year of promotion).  

Organizations can start here:  TheHistoryList.com/start

One other note: History Camp Boston is March 26, 2016.  You can register and add your session here: HistoryCamp.org.  (Just returning from the first History Camp held outside of New England and it had the largest number of attendees and sessions and the best local media support of any so far.)

> Passing on an announcement for a public event tonight. The Metropolitan Waterworks Museum is hosting Dennis De Witt for a talk on the architectural history of Boston’s waterworks system. The presentation, “Fantastic Water Towers: An 1893 Design Competition Juried by Edmund March Wheelwright” will take place this evening, December 2 at 7pm at the Waterworks. The talk will examine the legacy of Wheelwright, one of Boston’s early City Architects and the designer of the Waterworks’ expansion in 1897-1898. Mr. De Witt will show and discuss the designs for these civic monument/water towers and the surprising later careers of some of their designers.
