Plans continue to come together for this rare exhibition of
vintage industrial and historical photographs from the building of the Hetch
Hetchy Project. The photos are from the archive of the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission and were previously exhibited at the United Terminal at
the San Francisco Airport Museum. The Modesto Irrigation District has given
the museum a grant for the exhibition. For details click here. Other Events for 2007
