Join artist Xenobia Bailey as she uncovers the overlooked historical achievements of Philadelphia's Radical Black Elite from the early 1800s. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP), in collaboration with the Association for Public Art (aPA), is thrilled to host artist Xenobia Bailey as the featured speaker for its 200th Anniversary signature talk, entitled "Soul of America: Literary, Visual, and Performing Arts." Ms. Bailey, a renowned fiber artist, crocheter, designer, researcher, and cultural activist, will delve into her creative process and discuss the significance of African American cultural designs and objects in the global market. She will specifically highlight the remarkable Black Model City in Philadelphia, an inspiring example of early American self-sustainability and economic development. This hybrid event will offer both onsite and virtual tickets, with onsite ticket holders gaining access to the talk, a post-event reception, and the exhibit "Public Art in Philadelphia: A Legacy of Women," co-curated with the aPA. As part of their commitment to education, the organizers are providing complimentary tickets to current secondary, undergraduate, and graduate students. To request these tickets, students are invited to email programs@hsp.org with their enrollment details. Xenobia Bailey brings a wealth of experience to her artistic practice, having studied Ethnomusicology at the University of Washington and Custom Apparel Design from Seattle Community College. She holds a BA in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute. Founded in 1824, the HSP has been a custodian of historical documents that offer invaluable insights into the past. In celebration of its bicentennial, the HSP invites you to explore their extensive collection and discover your own place in history. For more information, visit hsp.org/200. The aPA, established in 1872, is dedicated to the commissioning and preservation of public art in Philadelphia. With a rich history of shaping the city's urban landscape, the organization continues to contribute to its vibrant cultural environment through innovative public art projects.

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. This monument near the Freedom Bell is unified and managed by National Park. Opposite the Freedom Bell is a large visitor center. Here you can consult the travel guide for Philadelphia. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic. Help to give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, you can buy refrigerator stickers, books, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs. There is also an exhibition in the visitor center. Although it will be more mini-pocket than the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is also a parking lot on the ground floor of the independent palace visitor center for everyone to park. Although parking in downtown Philadelphia is not very convenient, parking spaces are not very easy to find. I recommend everyone to come to the underground parking lot of the visitor center to park. If you come in peak season, you need to come to the visitor center to apply for the ticket for the visit of the Independence Palace first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it&rsquo;s because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to get a ticket when you come. You can enter the visit directly.
