  • Toad Detour Training

    The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education 8480 Hagys Mill Rd, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Learn how to protect our toads! Toad Detour protects the local toad population as they migrate to and from their breeding grounds each spring. When the toads emerge from brumation (the reptile version of hibernation) in the early spring, hundreds of them cross Port Royal, Hagy’s Mill and other nearby roads to mate in the Roxborough Reservoir or the Schuylkill Center’s ponds.

  • Historical Society of Pennsylvania Presents Paths to Independence 1765-1787

    Historical Society of Pennsylvania 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    In 1763, following the French and Indian War, most American colonists cherished their place in the British Empire and expressed loyalty to King George III.
