SUMMARY:Public Archaeology at Newlin Grist Mill
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we dig into history with archaeological excavations at Newlin Grist Mill and learn more about the site through the evidence under our feet! \nThe public is invited to participate (or just watch) as Newlin Grist Mill’s professional archaeologist\, Keith Doms\, and a dedicated corps of archaeology volunteers seek to gain a deeper understanding of the site’s history through careful excavation using scientific techniques and thorough documentation. Depending on the day\, visitors might be invited to help screen excavated soil to look for small artifacts or assist with cleaning artifacts that have already been excavated. \nExcavations this season are planned for the Trimble farm complex in the Historic Area. The Trimble family built their house on the property adjoining the Mill in 1739 and\, over time\, built a whole complex of structures to support the operations of their household and farm. By conducting archaeological studies in the area around the Trimble House\, the Newlin Grist Mill staff hopes to learn more about the people who lived and worked there in the 18th\, 19th\, and early 20th centuries. \nScheduled 2025 Public Archaeology Days:\nMarch 15\nApril 19\nMay 17\nJune 21\nJuly 19\nOctober 18 – International Archaeology Day \n10am-3pm. Free and open to all ages (children must be accompanied by an adult). No reservations are required. If you would like to help out with the dig\, be sure to wear clothes that can get dirty and close-toed footwear. Bring work gloves if you have them; the site has a limited number of pairs to lend.

SUMMARY:Cannonball Tavern at Fort Mifflin
DESCRIPTION:While few Officers’ Clubs survived the Cold War\, we are going to bring back the tradition at Fort Mifflin this year. Military Officers’ clubs date back to the Middle Ages and were establishments where officers from the aristocratic landowners congregated. These were meant to be distinct from the public houses where peasants met to drink and entertain themselves. Officers’ clubs were a privilege of office and entry was restricted to those officers who had earned their commissions (later meaning graduates of officer training programs. Originally (and in some cases even today)\, Officers’ Clubs reinforced the social distance between enlisted soldiers and their officers. By the time Fort Mifflin was recommissioned in 1794\, maintaining strict separation between officers and enlisted personnel was difficult. The garrison was small and there are few recreational activities for any soldiers\, so the garrison OC was more accepting of non-commissioned officers (privates are still out). \nThe bar is an essential element of most officers’ clubs. Some clubs served meals as an alternative to the rigid schedule and customs of the mess\, and a few larger clubs even hired entertainers like musicians. The heyday for military officers’ clubs was during World War II but many bases (especially in the Air Force) continued to host officers’ clubs through the Cold War. These bases often also included separate enlisted clubs. The protected environment of an officers’ club offered refuge from public disapproval during times when the public disapproved of the military (e.g. during the Vietnam War). \nJoin us on Saturday\, April 19th as we transform two of the casemates at Fort Mifflin into an 18th Century Officers Club. Patrons are invited to an evening of storytelling and merriment during which they can enjoy an 18th Century tavern experience complete with period beer\, cocktails\, competitive toasts\, games and various entertainments\, and maybe even a rousting political debate. \nThe Regimental Brewmeister will provide period correct\, field brewed beers\, ciders\, and meads. The Admiral of the Blue Apron\, then takes these with the addition of locally produced spirits to fashion 18th Century tavern cocktails\, punch\, and other libations. \nBeyond good ale\, cocktails\, and punch\, we provide the following entertainments you are likely to encounter were you to visit a tavern in 1770: \nCompetitive Toasting: Toasts would solidify the bonds of groups. Toasts add a competitive element of drinking. To give a proper toast requires courage\, it’s sort of a mini performance\, one that requires facing the chance of achieving great success or stumbling over what you say. Toasting elicits laughter\, dispenses well wishes\, and venerates people\, events\, and ideas (like liberty).\nParlor Games: Just like today\, people of the 18th Century enjoyed parlor and tavern games\, often gambling. There are two primary types of parlor games: card games\, and dice games but certainly some establishments\, especially in London\, also had draughts\, backgammon\, chess\, darts and billiards. The aim of most tavern games is not to create a competition but rather an excuse to sit together and discuss the day’s news.\nSharing of news and current events: Did you know Fort Mifflin has a newspaper? Taverns shared newspapers because the roads were poor and travel in the 18th Century was difficult and slow but when travelers came\, they shared the news. Some even brought their newspapers\, pamphlets\, and even books which when they had finished reading which they frequently left or loaned at the tavern.\nGlees and Tavern Songs: Glees and songs made for and about drinking are\, of course\, nothing new. Americans used drinking songs to band together in ale and song. In the ultimate homage to a night of drinking\, Francis Scott Key borrowed the tune of a bawdy British drinking song (“To Anacreon in Heaven”) about overindulgence and questionable relationship choices when he wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner.”\nTicket can be purchased at https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/fortmifflinonthedelaware/cannonball-tavern-801189955. This is a fundraiser for Fort Mifflin so come and enjoy the comradery of your fellow soldiers at the fort. We will be in the casemates this year so you may even get to meet some of our permanent garrison.

SUMMARY:From Kelpius to the Rod of Iron: Cults and New Religious Movements in Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:The state of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia are home to a diverse array of churches and religious organizations. This program will outline the history of some of the most famous religious monuments of our region. We will begin in the 17th century with the figure of Johannes Kelpius\, a German Pietist who established an apocalyptic religious community in the Wissahickon Valley. We will then move to the 19th century to examine the Theosophical Society\, a new religion that merged East and West\, whose United Lodge is still located in Center City. We will conclude by discussing the Iron Rod Ministries\, an offshoot of the Korean American Unification Church\, which until recently was headquartered in Wayne County\, east of the city of Scranton. \nOri Tavor is a Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies and Director of the MA Program at the department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, the University of Pennsylvania. He studies the history of utopian thought\, new religious movements\, and the intersection between religion and the state. \nAttend this program in person in the Education\, Philosophy and Religion Department\, or view it live on Zoom by registering at https://freelibrary-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cNQ2q3fvQ4CqWBN9IgeFXw#/registration

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: The Life of Barbie
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “The Life of Barbie\,” on a plastic icon and her cultural legacy\, with Emily Aguiló-Pérez\, an associate professor of English at West Chester University of Pennsylvania who has extensively researched Barbie as a scholar of childhood\, media\, and popular culture. \nFew toys have shaped culture quite like Barbie has. From her debut in 1959 to the billion-dollar success of the 2023 film bearing her name\, Barbie has been a mirror of society\, a lightning rod for controversy\, and a symbol of transformation. She often has found herself at the center of society’s evolving conversations about gender\, race\, consumerism\, and identity. \nGet to know Barbie like you never did before with the help of Emily Aguiló-Pérez\, the author of An American Icon in Puerto Rico: Barbie\, Girlhood\, and Colonialism at Play and the forthcoming books Barbie in the Media and Barbie and Social Media. \nDrawing from more than a decade of scholarly research on Barbie’s significance in global contexts\, Professor Aguiló-Pérez will discuss Barbie’s evolution from fashion model to feminist (and anti-feminist) flashpoint. While Barbie wasn’t originally designed as a feminist toy\, she would emerge as an emblem of female empowerment\, with the first astronaut Barbie\, produced in 1965\, exploring space before Neil Armstrong visited the Moon. At the same time\, she would continue to face criticism for reinforcing restrictive beauty norms\, with her measurements remaining unrealistic even in the “body diverse” versions of the doll—curvy\, petite and tall. \nWe’ll explore Barbie’s shifting cultural impact—her role in shaping beauty standards\, gender expectations\, and consumer culture. You’ll learn about Barbie’s global influence and how she continues to spark conversations about identity\, inclusivity\, and play. \nWhether you loved Barbie\, loathed her\, or rediscovered her through Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster Barbie movie\, you’ll find this talk to be a fascinating journey through the life of the world’s most famous doll\, and you’ll learn a lot about what she reveals about us. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Guests are welcome to arrive any time after 5:30. Talk starts at 6:30.) \nImage: A Barbie doll as photographed by Tracheotomy Bob / Creative Commons.

SUMMARY:Franklin Tree Planting at Carpenters' Hall
DESCRIPTION:On April 25 at 10 a.m.\, Ben Franklin will join the Carpenters’ Company\, OLIN\, Bartram’s Garden\, and the National Park Service to plant two rare extinct-in-the-wild “”Franklin trees”” in front of Carpenters’ Hall\, home of the First Continental Congress. \nThese Franklinia Alatamaha\, or Franklin trees\, were named in the 1700s by the namesake of Bartram’s Garden\, John Bartram\, a naturalist considered the “father of American botany\,” and his son William. The Bartrams collected seeds\, named the tree in honor of their family friend Ben Franklin\, and began cultivating the trees in Philadelphia. \nThe Franklin Tree is known for its large\, cream-colored flowers; glossy\, narrow leaves; deeply colored fall foliage with late-blooming blossoms; and bright yellow-orange pollen-producing stamens. Every Franklin tree alive today descends from the seeds originally cultivated at Bartram’s Garden by William Bartram and his family. These trees are extinct in the wild today and exist only in botanical gardens and arboreta. \nAlso assisting in the tree planting will be: State Rep. Mary Isaacson\, Kathryn Ott Lovell\, president and CEO of the Philadelphia Visitor Center\, and Jennifer Nagle\, vice president of special projects at the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau. \nFun facts: Carpenters’ Hall is the site of Benjamin Franklin’s Library Company of Philadelphia\, secret meetings between Benjamin Franklin\, John Jay\, Fancis Daymon\, and French emissary Julien Achard de Bonvouloir which led to French support of the colonists\, and The Franklin Institute’s first home.
