1/15 Wednesday. My first time coming to this history talk series on 3rd Wednesday evenings (except for December) at MOHAI. Will be back for more.
Tonight, Elke Hautala and Cari Simso from Invisible History used period photos and architectural drawings showcased the Seattle of early 1900s.
Investigation of what happened to the 3,260 people buried at the Duwamish Cemetery (aka Seattle's Potter's Field) when it was erased in 1912 for the straightening of the Duwamish River: a crematorium was built, ashes were lost.
Elke is an actress. They also recruited 2 members of the audience for an acting of a spirit sceance.
Very well done.
