Transbay Archeology Exhibit Opening 

As the construction of the Transbay Transit Center moves ahead, we would like to share with our project neighbors and Bay Area residents some of the amazing artifacts that we have found along the way. 

This exhibit will feature a variety of items discovered within the footprint of the project site that illuminate the rich history of San Francisco’s gold rush era. Recovered artifacts show the way residents of the South of Market neighborhood in the 19th century lived, worked and played, including industrial tools, household items and remnants of neighborhood businesses.
