ROAD TRIP!
THE COLONIAL CORRIDOR
The costumed Colonial interpreters in the “Audacious Freedom” exhibit at the African American Museum in Philadelphia are light-years ahead of the ones at Colonial Williamsburg when it comes to entertainment value.
How cool would it be to hold a rare, original copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, signed by Abraham Lincoln?
Mother Bethel AME Church will celebrate Bishop Richard Allen’s 250th birthday this Sunday with an 11 a.m. worship service honoring the Colonial-era religious and civic leader.
One of the of the best-kept secrets at Independence National Historical Park is the physiognotrace (fizzy-ogg-no-trace), a portrait-drawing contraption that helped the indentured slave Moses Williams buy his freedom in 1802, and then buy his wife’s.
African-American sailmaker James Forten, a wealthy and successful Philly businessman in the early years of American independence, will be celebrated in a “Seafarin’ Saturday” program on Feb. 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Independence Seaport Museum.
ARTS SMART
The George Washington Carver exhibit at the Academy of Natural Sciences (through Feb. 28) lets kids connect with Carver the artist through several hands-on activities.
It almost goes without saying that history and culture are better when you add drums and dancing. You know this. Your kid knows this. And so do the Kimmel Center, the African-American Museum in Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania Museum.
