Neighborhood Stories A Spit Spreads Death Virtual Tour of Brewerytown
How did the influenza pandemic of 1918-19 affect Philadelphia’s neighborhoods?
Join the Mütter Museum and Hidden City Philadelphia for a virtual tour of Brewerytown in North Philadelphia that focuses on the German American community a century ago. We’ll learn about breweries, factories, rowhouses, and churches as we explore life before, during, and after the influenza pandemic that killed more than 17,500 Philadelphians in 1918-19.
Major support for Spit Spreads Death has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, with additional support from the Groff Family Memorial Trust and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I wear my Spit Spreads Death face mask I bought at the museum all the time. I also wear my button I got on my lanyard at work. 🥰
Lovely video, a lovely virtual walk, it's very relaxing. Thanks for sharing!
These are really interesting. Hope you guys continue to do long form videos like this even after the pandemic
This looks interesting, I'm out of time, I'll save it for later! I'm back, very interesting information on populations and industry. I love maps!
I saw this exhibit fall of 2019, right around when the first rumblings about COVID were beginning. Truly an uncomfortable bit of foresight...
How do I get a job at a place like the Mutter Museum? I have an Anthropology degree, and 13 years teaching experience in English, ESL, History, and Social Studies.
