The Historical Society of Frankford, 1507 Orthodox St., welcomes everyone to the opening of its lecture series on Tuesday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m., with the talk, Welcome to Riverfront North.

The speaker will be Gina Craigo, Community Engagement Manager for Riverfront North.

Bridesburg and the surrounding river wards once had their own Boathouse Row with much recreational use by local residents. Years of heavy industrial use and disconnect with I-95 changed that landscape.

However, Riverfront North has been working since 2003 to return access and recreational use to the northern Delaware River waterfront. Learn about this 11-mile greenway and the organization working with the city to provide access and recreational use. ••
