Event Details

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.
