Topics & Discussions on the Life and Customs of Western Pennsylvania

The Symposium on Life and Customs in Western Pennsylvania

 

As we continue to monitor current CDC guidelines, The Bradford House Museum plans to present The Symposium on Life and Customs in Western Pennsylvania on Friday May 14, 2021 at the Stone Pavilion, at Washington Park
 
Yes this is a change from our standard format, but the BHHA felt it was safest to move the Symposium to a later date and to an outdoor venue.
 
More details to come as we get closer to May 14th!
