Join Museum Educator Sonya Ochshorn for a digital discussion to explore early subway planning and building while learning about extraordinary individuals, such as William Barclay Parsons, George Westinghouse, Frank Sprague, and Granville T. Woods, whose business savvy and innovation were essential in the groundbreaking of the largest mass transportation system in the United States.
