Come visit us! Visitors can receive a free pass to research at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. The pass is for future dates. You cannot use the pass on September 15th
Parking Day is a global event to repurpose parking spaces to raise awareness of the need for social and green spaces in urban areas. We use this space to show just how accessible and rewarding it can be.
