About Treat PAST PRESENT FUTURE Series

Learn about the historic waterways and ecosystem that lived beneath the asphalt we see today in the heart of the Northeast Mission District.

This limited-time open-air museum display features dozens of historic prints, photographs, maps, and a comprehensive history of the land beneath Treat Plaza.

About Treat Plaza

Treat Plaza is in the Northeast Mission Industrial Neighborhood, situated on top of the historic tidal wetlands and Mission Creek which served as home for Ramaytush Ohlone people for thousands of years before Spanish settlement.

The Exhibit

Ranging from prehistoric times to First People, Spanish and United States colonization, and recent history of industrial growth, learn about how your favorite City came to be through interpretive panels and on-site Q&A from local historians.

Supported by Into the Streets and the Sierra Club SF Group, this is a unique moment in time to consider our past ahead of a billion-dollar project to dig up the Northeast Mission District to put in a new sewer line.

What should Treat look like in the future? Come share your ideas.
