Celebrate National Historic Marker Weekend with Arch Street Meeting House on a walking tour of Old City, Philadelphia!
Created by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, National Historic Marker Day is a service-oriented event that brings people and communities together to maintain their markers by cleaning them and providing an opportunity to celebrate and preserve history.
This year, Arch Street Meeting House has created a walking tour of blue historic markers in Old City, Philadelphia. Beginning at ASMH, the tour will start with the stories of Philadelphia’s Quaker history before looping around to sites like the Betsy Ross House, Christ Church, Independence Hall, and more.
The ASMH staff-led walking tour is offered for free and will be facilitated by ASMH staff on April 25th at 11 am.
Printed copies of the map and activity worksheets will be available all day at ASMH’s Meet Quaker History Education Cart.
Stickers and National Historic Marker Weekend swag will be available while supplies last, courtesy of the William G. Pomeroy Foundation.
