On Monday, October 6, Founding Forward is excited to host an open house at their Philadelphia campus, located in the Heritage Center of The Union League of Philadelphia. Earlier this year, Founding Forward acquired a new collection of materials related to sculptor Jakob Otto Schweizer, well known for his statues in Philadelphia, the Gettysburg Battlefield Park, and the Union League’s Lincoln Memorial Room. This collection includes documents, plaster sculpture maquettes, photographs, and other materials created by Schweizer – a selection of materials from this collection will be on display during the event. Come learn more about Schweizer and his work.

Guests will enjoy a reception with drinks and light refreshments. A complementary tour of the League House will be available for those interested; the tour will begin at 5pm.

Reservations are required. Please fill out this form to RSVP for the event:
