Join The Explorers Club on July 1st for a special presentation connecting two Great Wall explorers, a hundred years apart.

William Geil, the first person to explore the Great Wall of China, photograph its various morphologies and architectures, and document his experiences in a book about the structure, died unexpectedly, 100 years ago in 1925. His wife, Constance, buried him in the local Doylestown cemetery. His headstone reads ‘William Edgar Geil, October 1st, 1865 – April 23rd, 1925’ — and nothing else. Constance, so bereaved, sealed up her husband’s study. It remained locked, until 1959. After Constance’s death, her daughter readied the family mansion to sell: a house contents sale was held, and the details of the first Great Wall of China exploration from one end to the other, were sold, disseminated — and seemingly lost —- until now.

‘The Great Wall of Two Williams: Two Journeys, One Century Mission’ is the decades-long story telling the revival of William Geil’s legacy, by William Lindesay OBE, a Great Wall explorer himself.

In-person tickets are $20 for Members, and $35 for the General Public.
Check-in will begin at 6:00 pm, with a beer and wine reception from 6:00 – 7:00 pm
