What Ever Happened to Mill Creek?

To find out, take a bus tour with Adam Levine and Drew Brown of the Philadelphia Water Department.

From the creek’s headwaters in Montgomery County, travel through West Philadelphia from Overbrook to the Schuylkill River near 43rd Street. Along the way you’ll discover the industry and farmland that used to be here, visit parks, playgrounds and community gardens, and hear about the consequences of burying a creek in a pipe — and building a city above it. Participants receive a map showing where the creek once ran and an illustrated booklet on its past and present.

Bus leaves from and returns to Overbrook Environmental Education Center. Tour is rain or shine, but may be cancelled in severe weather.

Cost: $10/person.

To register, please print, complete, and mail the registration form to the Overbrook Environmental Education Center.
