The Byberry area of Far Northeast Philadelphia has an incredibly rich and diverse history. Come hear Poquessing Trail of History Project Director Jack McCarthy speak on this exciting initiative that will activate four historic sites in Byberry through historic restoration and interpretation: the Benjamin Rush birthplace house, the Byberry Township African American Burial Ground, Byberry Hall, and a memorial to the area’s original inhabitants, the Lenape. Sponsored by Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia, the project is funded by The Pew Center for Arts and Culture and the Philadelphia Funders Collaborative for the Semiquincentennial.

The program is free and open to all, no registration required.…
