Beneath the Streets of Boston: Building America?s First Subway June 2, 2005

Beckoning readers to examine the territory beneath Boston?s streets, Joe McKendry explores a century-old world when the city took the initiative to design and create the country?s first subway. In an illustrated lecture, McKendry will show Beantown?s first ?Big Dig?. Using picks and shovels, you will discover how these workers burrowed deep below Boston Harbor, under Beacon Hill and the Old State House, and created a subterranean realm that relieved traffic, mitigated congestion and got people where they wanted to go for only a nickel.
