East Falls Tour - WHM

East Falls transitioned from a small fishing outpost along the Schuylkill River to a major mill town in the 1800s, but the last mills closed almost a century ago.  As the mills were closing, the neighborhood developed into a 'suburb' within Philadelphia. This tour will look at the changes from 1900 to the mid-century with a walk through the Tudor District, The Oak Road, and School House Lane highlighting the highways and byways in between.
