With Local Historian Jim Murphy

In-Person in the MacColl Room,

Come hear the secret stories about Philadelphia heroes and historic sites that few people knew … until the author uncovered them during 11 years of research. It’s a history buffet you’ll remember and enjoy long after you leave the room. And it will make you far more familiar with Philadelphia leaders and landmarks.
