The Kings Highway Trust presents, this week, the First Annual Northeast Philadelphia History and Heritage Celebration.
There are two events being held in Frankford.
Tonight, at the First Philadelphia Prep. Charter School at 4300 Tacony Street from 7 to 9 PM, is Share Your Story. Be a part of history and share the stories of your family, ancestors, and everything Northeast Philadelphia in a fun and interactive series of workshops hosted by Manor College Professor Matthew Smalarz and moderated by Jason Sherman.
Sunday, August 19th from 3 to 6 PM at the Historical Society of Frankford, 1507 Orthodox Street, will be an architectural walking tour of Frankford with Debbie Klak and Diane Sadler. After the tour, then see ancient artifacts at the Historical Society of Frankford along with old photos and a slideshow.
This will also be the first opportunity to use the Historical Walking Tour of Frankford app. So if you can’t make the event on Sunday, download the app on your mobile device and take the tour whenever you can. Search for Sidewalk. Then search for the King’s Highway. I’ve tested it and it is pretty good.
