About this Event
In 1867, less than three years after the Civil War left the city in ruins, Hungarian Jewish immigrant Morris Rich opened a small dry goods store on what is now Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta. Over time, his brothers Emanuel and Daniel joined the business; within a century, it became a retailing dynasty. Join historian Jeff Clemmons as he traces Rich's 137-year history. For the first time, learn the true stories behind Penelope Penn, Fashionata, The Great Tree, the Pink Pig, Rich's famous coconut cake and much more.
Seating is now on a first come first serve basis.
Join us at Christ Church in Hapeville for festive orchestral music from 6-6:30pm.
The history lecture begins at 6:30pm at Christ Church.
Book signings and exhibit viewing will be from 7:30pm and onwards.
