During Tuesdays in September there will be discussions about the Scajaquada Creek Corridor, hosted by Black Rock Riverside Alliance, The Scajaquada Corridor Coalition and Black Rock Historical Society.

The second part of the session will be on the War of 1812 and its historic trail, industrial attraction to the creek and its toll. Ryan Austin, PhD, University at Buffalo, Dept. of Archeology, will lead this session.
