2024 Northeast Philadelphia History Fair
Friends of Northeast Philadelphia History present the 2024 biennial Northeast Philadelphia History Fair.
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 for viewing and purchase. 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. FNEPH has reprinted this important, long out-of-print book and will
have copies for sale at the History Fair.
The Northeast Philadelphia History Fair is free and open to all, there is plenty of free parking available.
Cannstatter’s is on Academy Road near Frankford Avenue in Upper Holmesburg.
