Special Tour: Love Lives of Philly’s Veg Pioneers
$23.00
A perfect event for couples — but if you’re valentine-free, spend an hour in the company of some amazing historical characters! This one-of-a-kind tour focuses on Philly’s veg history from a romantic perspective: Learn about Benjamin Lay’s soul mate Sarah and how they fought to get married; how Angelina Grimke’s radical wedding tied in with the burning of Pennsylvania Hall; how Bronson Alcott’s vegan commune, and marriage, was challenged by a same-sex relationship; how Mary Gove Nichols’ first marriage was so toxic it led to her kidnapping her own daughter, then becoming an 1850s “free love” advocate; and how a transatlantic love story led to the building of the first national vegan organization in the U.S.
The tour departs from the steps of the American Vegan Center at 17 N. 2nd Street at noon on Sunday, February 13th.
Full price for this tour is $23.
