How Philadelphia's Golden Age Retailers Celebrated Christmas with historian Thomas Keels and author Lawrence Arrigale.
About this Event

Philadelphia historian Tom Keels and Lawrence M. Arrigale return to Ambler Library with a presentation on their book, Philadelphia's Golden Age of Retail. "Miracles on Market Street" shows how Philadelphia's many department and specialty stores enticed and enchanted holiday shoppers, from the Colonial Easter Village at Lits, to Snellenburg's Mother's Day Flower Show, to Gimbels' Thanksgiving Day Parade, to the Dickens Village at Strawbridge & Clothier and the Christmas Light Show at Wanamaker's! This presentation features dozens of fascinating images from holidays past, but shows how some of Philadelphia’s old traditions still survive today in various locales.
