Have you ever seen a handwritten draft of the Constitution? How about a printer’s proof of the Declaration of Independence? These documents and many more are housed at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and we are taking them out of the vault for one night only—for a Young Friends treasure hunt. Guests will search through historic documents to find the hidden clues and answer a list of tricky questions. Enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres and meet other history lovers!
Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door. Space is limited.
The Young Friends of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania is a vibrant group of young adults between the ages of 21 and 40 who share a common appreciation for history. Through a variety of social and educational events, the Young Friends make history fun and relevant in today’s world.
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania is one of the oldest historical societies and one of the largest family history libraries in the nation. Following a complete merger with the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies, HSP is also a leading repository of immigrant and ethnic history. It is second only to the Library of Congress for material on the nation’s founding and is the country’s third most popular destination for genealogical study. With approximately 21 million records including manuscripts, graphics, and books that span over 350 years of history, HSP is an invaluable resource for historical research.
HSP serves thousands of on-site visitors each year. It also offers a research-by-mail service and extensive online resources, including a library catalog, finding aids, digital collection, and curricular materials. HSP hosts educator workshops and public programs, and publishes a quarterly scholarly journal. To learn more about HSP or to become a member, visit us at www.hsp.org.
