About the event

Captured in Crisis
In 1937, one of the worst natural disasters in Ohio Valley history submerged Ravenswood. Amid the rising waters, photographer Clara Weisheit ventured out by boat, capturing powerful images of the devastation. Her photographs remain one of the most important visual records of the flood, offering a glimpse into both the destruction and the community’s resilience. Partake in free food and refreshments as we learn about this momentous moment in our local history.
