Scribe Video Center and Friends of the Tanner House in partnership with the Strawberry Mansion Learning Center present a unique multigenerational community storytelling event in honor of the North Philadelphia History Festival, featuring a temporary exhibition of a curated set of historical Strawberry Mansion neighborhood images. What stories emerge from us having revisited these images and the periods of neighborhood life they represent? This opportunity for a neighborhood story circle seeks to bring about more opportunities to share the beauty of our everyday lives in community.
