Evansville in the Flood of 1937

Evansville in the Flood of 1937 - (Archives)

Jan 23, 2013
(12:00 PM - 1:00 PM)

The Tri-State has survived tornados, ice and wind storms, droughts, and other natural disasters, but one of the most memorable weather events began in January of 1937 when the Ohio Valley experienced record flooding. This program, led by Archivist Pat Sides, will feature a selection of images from the Library's Historic Photo Collection that reveal some of the devastation produced by the flood.

Copies of "Over the Banks of the Ohio: The Flood of 1937, Evansville, IN," will also be available for purchase; the book was published by Willard Library in 2012 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the flood.

Reservations are not required, but are appreciated. For more information, call (812) 425-4309, ext. 114.
