1876 Centennial Exposition Philly History Pop Up

Wednesday, January 28

Philly History Pop Ups are fun gatherings hosted by Cara Schneider Bongiorno, a veteran tourism marketer who loves sharing and promoting Philadelphia to travel media for 20+ years.

Cara will share the story of the Centennial Exposition. What is the story behind the event that drew 10 million people to Fairmount Park in 1876. What came from the Expo and where did all those buildings go? (And see how women saved the day.) Timely as we begin the country’s 250th year.

LUNCH: Bring your own lunch, beverages, and dessert are provided this week! Lunch starts at 12:00; program begins at 12:30.
