Mark your calendars for Friday, September 20 (with a rain date of September 27) as we gather for a fun-filled afternoon at the beautiful Historic Fair Hill Burial Ground. In addition to being the resting place of Lucretia and James Mott, along with many other notable abolitionists, Historic Fairhill is a peaceful green space in North Philadelphia that offers the perfect setting for our picnic. With shady trees and quiet paths, its a place where you can relax, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with both nature and history.
Bring the whole family! It’s a wonderful chance to relax, connect, and be in community together.
11AM– Outdoor Worship
(Bring folding chairs if you’d like more comfort or space)
12PM to 2:30PM– Lunch and HFH’s Family Fun Day!
Drop in garden activities, games, and a jam-making workshop
We ask everyone to pre-register below so we can plan well and share rain date updates.Please note: There is no indoor space and one portable toilet on-site. Historic Fair Hill is a beautiful outdoor space with grassy areas and uneven ground. While there are some paved walkways, much of the gathering will take place on the lawn, which may be difficult for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility to navigate. The site and arboretum is located at 2901 Germantown Ave between Indiana & Cambria. It is on the 23 bus line and a short walk from Broad St. subway and North Broad SEPTA stations. Street parking is limited so please consider taking public transit or carpooling if possible.
