HOLIDAY GARDEN RAILWAY NIGHTS
December 14 – December 22
Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania
In 2018, there will be seven Holiday Garden Railway Nights on Fridays and Saturdays, December 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 22. Visitors may enjoy the Garden Railway all lit up in the dark of night from 4:30 to 7:30pm by separate timed tickets, available for purchase on the Morris Arboretum website or via Ticket Leap at http://bit.ly/HGR2018. To warm up your walk, hot cocoa and coffee will be available at the Compton Café, along with various tasty snacks to purchase
POP-UP MUSEUM: SPORTS AND LEISURE
December 22 – January 6
Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site
The archives of Eastern State Penitentiary are packed with historic treasures that the public rarely sees. Thousands of photographs, stacks of prisoner-written magazines, and even shanks (homemade weapons) are numbered and tucked carefully into museum-grade storage in the site’s administrative offices. Historic site visitors often see photographs of these treasures, but the building’s lack of museum-quality climate control makes it impossible to exhibit the artifacts year-round.
FULL MOON HIKE
December 22
Norristown Farm Park
Enjoy an opportunity to be in the park past sunset. Take a hike by the light of the silvery moon. Find out why October’s full moon is sometimes called the “hunter’s moon.” A park ranger will lead this evening adventure. Proper footwear is recommended. The hike will be about two miles. Preregistration is required; meet in parking lot #5.
