Another fascinating post from @kenfinkel
When European violin masters were broke, they came to America, their “piggy bank.” But by coming to the U.S. and handing over their Stradivarius and Guarneris to local instrument repairers, they inadvertently left behind a trail of talented luthiers. phillyhistory.org/blog/index.php…

General Pershing stopped by Philadelphia 100 years ago for the obligatory victor's parade and accompanying adoration. John Wanamaker called him out for staying only 150 minutes. But that was about as long as most visits of the last century, right? phillyhistory.org/blog/index.php…

Good Morning! It was on this day, Sept 17, 1787, the U.S. Constitution was signed here in Philadelphia. Welcome to the birthplace of independence and home to “We the People.” Happy #ConstitutionDay!

Proclaimed at the Liberty Bell 100 years ago: "Let...those who rail at our laws & liberties understand that if they don’t like this country and the way its government is administered then the best thing they can do is go to some place that does suit them.” phillyhistory.org/blog/index.php…
It wouldn't be an #ArchivesInventions themed #ArchivesHashtagParty without Philly's own Benjamin Franklin. Best known perhaps for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the glass armonica, Franklin also invented 4-paned streetlights, handheld swimming fins, and a flexible catheter.

We're joining the #ArchivesHashtagParty (fashionably late, of course). The theme this month is #ArchivesOutdoors, so we're celebrating all the ways that Philadelphians get outside. Here's a photo from the Philadelphia Marathon of 1995. #PhillyHistory #PhiladelphiaMarathon
