It wouldn’t be What Remains without a flood story, and this one’s a big one!

In this episode, Kylie and Clarissa take you back to the Flood of 1942, one of the most devastating events in Fredericksburg’s history. Drawing from donated photographs, firsthand accounts, and museum resources, we retrace the week of unrelenting rain, the chaos of burning gasoline on the river, and the incredible efforts of first responders and community members who worked tirelessly to save lives and rebuild.

Was “42 in ’42” truly Fredericksburg’s worst disaster since the Civil War? Join us as we explore the story, the photographs, and the resilience of a city that came together in the face of crisis and find out... What Remains.
