Have you ever wondered where your water comes from? Today, roughly three million people in Massachusetts enjoy water from the Quabbin Reservoir, but that has not always been the case. In Before the Flood, author Elisabeth C. Rosenberg explores the story of the Quabbin, the people who built it, and the residents who were displaced to make way for its construction.
Please join the Waterworks Museum in welcoming Rosenberg for a discussion of this fascinating history, which will be followed by a book signing. This program will take place live at the museum and is free of charge. Doors open at 6:30pm. Masks are currently recommended but not required. Reserve your free ticket in advance to secure your place. If seats are still available, walk-ins will be welcome on the day of the program.
Elisabeth C. Rosenberg is a writer and editor who focuses on the interplay between individuals, demographic groups, and disruptive technology. She has contributed to The Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, Fast Company, Harvard University Press, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center. She divides her time between Washington, DC, and Amherst, MA.
