  • Historical Society of Frankford program – Tue, March 12, 7:30pm – 9:00pm, 1507 Orthodox St.,ANNUAL MEETING and PROGRAM GLOBE DYE CONFIDENTIAL: Divergent Paths of Two Founding Families, Cheryl Harper, Artist-Curator – While curating the dynamic art installations of “Catagenesis at Globe Dye Works” last fall, Ms Harper familiarized herself with the history of this 125 year old Frankford textile factory (1867) and the lives of the founding Greenwood and somewhat more colorful (scandalous even!) Bault families of Frankford. Globe Dye Works, which once got its water supply from the Little Tacony Creek, has now been repurposed for artists studios and light manufacturing. Join the Society as Ms Harper presents vintage photographs and a history of one of Frankford’s historic treasures.
    As this is also the Society’s annual membership meeting and election, you are invited to meet the directors and learn what has been done this past year. Your ideas are important – so please come out and share them and how you plan to get involved to make these happen. Then, enjoy a rare, behind the scenes tour of our 1930′s building and vast museum and library collections by our president. Don’t miss it!
