Event Description

In the 1850s, a series of tunnels and underground brewery caves were built in Iowa City, such as those located underneath the Brewery Square on the corner of Market and Linn Streets. Expert Marlin R. Ingalls, who recently evaluated the beer caves in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, will present an overview of the history of brewery caves and the use of remote sensing technologies such as ground-penetrating radar, electro-resonance, and electro-resistivity in the search for lost caves.
