Join us for the opening reception of the exhibit "To Provide a Naval Armament:" U.S. Navy & Marine Corps History, 1775 – 1958. While prominent Philadelphians appear in naval history, the story also lives in the letters and journals of sailors, surgeons, and shipyard workers. In partnership with Homecoming 250, this exhibit explores the Navy and Marine Corps through the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s collections, tracing their evolution from the American Revolution to the early Cold War, all while remaining anchored in Philadelphia.
Read more about the exhibit here: www.hsp.org/usa250. This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
