In Pursuit: Philadelphia and the Making of America

Penn Museum will host a screening of “In Pursuit: Philadelphia and the Making of America, Episode 2: Land (1700–1763),” which examines the social and political forces that shaped early Pennsylvania. Afterwards, Lucy Fowler Williams, exhibition curator of the Native North America Gallery, will speak with series writer Nathaniel Popkin and public historian Aislinn Pentecost-Farren about how the history presented in the film connects to the stories and perspectives highlighted in the Museum’s collection. Free and open to the public. Reserve tickets in advance.
