In the decades after the American Revolution, Philadelphia was at the forefront of the creation of new institutions such as schools, charities, and reform societies to address social problems and promote civic virtue in the young nation. Many of these would ultimately find a home in Fairmount. On this walking tour from Girard College to Eastern State Penitentiary, we will use archival records and photos to explore some of many institutions that are part of our neighborhood’s history.
