Radnor's Road to 250: Celebrating an American Milestone
Radnor’s Road to 250: Celebrating an American Milestone
Just a half year to go now before we hit the big 2-5-0 as a country, but since we do call ourselves Philly people, our hearts and minds are already in the right place. Please join Radnor Memorial Library & Radnor Historical Society for 6 lectures (6/17-8/26) on some celebration history beginning in 1876, including some local art and cultural topics, too. The talks will be presented by those familiar and knowledgeable history lovers; Thomas H. Keels and Jim Segrave-Daly.
Please note the locations: J. Segrave-Daly at The Finley House and T. Keels at Radnor Memorial Library. There is no registration and all talks are free to the public.
Rogues Gallery: When Rich People Spend Good Money On Bad Art
Presented by author Thomas H. Keels
Tuesday, 7/22 6:30pm
Winsor Room at RML
Tom Keels returns to RML in July for a talk on early 20th century Philadelphia, when both multi-millionaire P.A.B. Widener and legal eagle John G. Johnson paid a not-so-small fortune to a European grifter who supplied them with daVinci’s, Rembrandts, Vermeers and other Old Masters–all of which were completely bogus.
