Your first visit

First step: Come to a free monthly lecture at 1507 Orthodox Street. Doors open at 7 pm and the talk starts at 7:30 pm..

You can just show up.

What to expect

A lecture is a single evening talk in the Society's building, with doors at 7 pm and the talk at 7:30 pm. The Society says light refreshments are served. You can also watch a lecture live online.

Tips for your first visit

  • Park in the free lot across Orthodox Street at Frankford Friends School.
  • Arrive when doors open at 7 pm, so you are settled before the 7:30 pm talk.
  • Call 215-743-6030 to ask about the next lecture or to book a museum visit, since the museum is open by appointment only.
