The Delaware Riverfront is one of the most historic parts of Philadelphia. The river was the lifeblood of the city and native Americans developed settlements here. Early European Settlers also had a presence. And of course William Penn and others grew Philadelphia from the river westward. Archaeology is our window into the past.

Join Penn Praxis and the Central Delaware Advisory Group as they present the final presentation of the visioning plan for the central Delaware riverfront. Many of you have been involved in his process over the last year and helped shape this plan. Come view the results and hear about next steps to implement these ideas.

Wednesday, November 14
