About the event

Preserving the Past: The Archaeology of Capone

An intimate conversation between Liz Trumbull, Senior Director of Preservation and Operations and Samantha Hone, Visitor Services Lead will uncover layers of the past focused on one of the most talked-about spaces at Eastern State – the recreation of Al Capone’s cell. Learn how a routine project revealed hidden layers of painted decoration, and how new archival discoveries shifted long-held assumptions about Capone’s time at Eastern State.
