Old City Untapped

Join us for Old City Untapped, a free gathering where history and hops come together! This month, step into the past at A Man Full of Trouble Tavern for an evening of drinks and discussion. This is a free event open to the public but please RSVP so we have an idea of how many to expect. The only way to guarantee a seat is to arrive early!

Historical romance author Rose Lerner shares her research into Jewish social, legal, and political life around the time of the American Revolution. Pennsylvania's Quaker founding offered Jews a kind of civic equality that was unavailable to them in Europe. Rose will shine a spotlight on the tumultuous career of Philadelphia-born Lt. Colonel David Salisbury Franks, who served under Benedict Arnold at West Point, George Washington at Valley Forge, and diplomats Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson in Europe. He later returned home to Philadelphia to work in Alexander Hamilton's national bank, until his early death in the yellow fever epidemic.
