Historic Treat this Sunday


United States Colored Troops fought in the Civil War. Camp William Penn, right here in the LaMott section of Philadelphia (7420 Sycamore Ave, LaMott, PA), was where many of them trained. On Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm, Dr. Robert Hicks of the Mutter Museum (College of Physicians of Philadelphia) will speak on the health of the soldiers and Joseph Becton, a civil war historian and re-enactor, will provide music of the troops. The Camp William Penn Museum will also be open.
