History Café: Uncovering Seattle’s “Lost” Cemetery

Experience the challenges and mysteries of what happened to the 3,260 people buried at the Duwamish Cemetery (aka Seattle’s Potter’s Field) when it was erased in 1912 for the dredging and straightening of the Duwamish River. Learn about this untold history from South Seattle while engaging with the themes of industrial growth, marginalized perspectives and collective memory.

This History Café is produced as a partnership between HistoryLink, Invisible Histories, and MOHAI.
