Join the Print and Picture Collection and the Map Collection at the 2024 Northeast Philadelphia History Fair, presented by the Friends of Northeast Philadelphia History. The fair runs from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and is at Cannstatter Volksfest Verein, on 9130 Academy Road near Frankford Avenue in Upper Holmesburg.

Dozens of area history organizations, historic sites, historians, and authors will have displays on local history, as well as books, prints, maps, and other historical items. There will be formal presentations on Northeast Village, the huge post-World War II housing development that was built near Roosevelt Boulevard and Comly Road and removed in the 1960s, and on the 1970 book, Hark Back With Love, by local Quaker Frances Richardson, which chronicles her life in the Byberry area around the turn of the twentieth century. 

The Northeast Philadelphia History Fair is free and open to all, and there is plenty of free parking available.
