Discover the Hidden Treasures in HSP's collection with an illustrated presentation by Senior Director of the Library and Collections Lee Arnold. Arnold will highlight lesser known but highly treasured historical documents and images, including: the oldest collection item; a map showing an early Pennsylvania land swindle; and the first portrait photograph taken in the United States. A reception with an opportunity to view--for one night only--some of these rarely seen artifacts will follow.

This event is for members of the Treasures Society and 1824 Legacy Society, and their guests.
