Their contributions to science\, politics\, the arts\, faith\, education\, and community are woven into every block and boulevard of Philadelphia. The Semiquincentennial is a moment to reclaim and celebrate that legacy—on our own terms. \nJoin WURD Radio for the Freedom Journeys Salon\, a special community gathering celebrating the extraordinary people featured in our Freedom Journeys storytelling project—both past and present. This afternoon of live conversation\, reflection\, great food\, and music marks a powerful moment in WURD’s ongoing mission to honor 250 iconic African American Philadelphians from 1776 to 2026. We’re also debuting our newest podcast\, Freedom Journeys: Sacred Places\, exploring the historic spaces that anchor Black Philadelphia’s story. \nIf you’ve been struggling with how to mark the nation’s 250th—especially at a time when Black history\, culture and people are under threat—you MUST come celebrate with WURD. \nEvent Details:\n\nWhat:Freedom Journeys Salon: Celebrating 250 Phenomenal Philadelphians\nDate: July 3rd\nTime: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nLocation: The Love Lab | 932 Market Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\nIncludes: Live broadcast\, community conversation\, light fare\, DJ\, and the debut of the Freedom Journeys: Sacred Places podcast\n\nBroadcast: 96.1 FM / 900 AM | WURD Radio \nDigital: WURD Radio App | WURDRadio.com | Facebook Live @forWURD | Twitch @wurdradio URL:https://gridphilly.com/event/freedom-journeys-salon-celebrating-250-phenomenal-philadelphians/ LOCATION:932 Market St\, 932 Market Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19107\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gridphilly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/0643edf31bfcd98a9dba2c1f772ce764.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260703T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260703T140000 DTSTAMP:20260629T011540Z CREATED:20260629T011540Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260629T011540Z UID:10037292-1783083600-1783087200@gridphilly.com SUMMARY:Fridays in the Field DESCRIPTION:Practice observation and nature identification in the Wagner's Teaching Garden!\n\n\nThe Wagner’s Teaching Garden is our most valuable classroom. Not only is our green space full of pollinator gardens\, but it is also a certified Wildlife Habitat\, Bird Habitat\, and Monarch Waystation—our milkweed plants provide valuable nutrients for Monarch butterflies during their cross continental migration. \nBeginning Friday\, April 10th\, the Wagner Teaching Garden will be open for independent educational exploration every Friday from 1 – 3:00pm. \nVisitors of all ages may borrow hand lenses for close observation of our urban ecosystem\, use nature guides to help identify the different animals\, trees\, and rocks found in our yard\, or take time to relax in the shade and draw from nature. Wagner staff will be available to facilitate use of materials\, but Fridays in the Field is a mostly unguided opportunity to experience the Wagner Teaching Garden. \nVisitors looking to attend Fridays in the Field must enter the museum through the front entrance on Montgomery street and check in with the front desk. Visitors who walk-in and visitors who preregister\, here or through the 2026 Visit the Wagner Eventbrite\, will have full access to the museum and access to the yard from 1pm – 3:00pm on Fridays. \n \n\n\n\n \nThings to Know Before Your Visit\n• Walk-in visitors are welcome.

Today\, the Wagner offers more programs to more people than ever before! Your support helps us provide free education\, not only through the museum\, but through a wide range of courses\, lectures\, field trips\, and children’s science programs. Donations also assist us in caring for the museum and library collections and in preserving our wonderful building\, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990. To learn more about what we do please visit our website. \n \nRegistration Information\nIn keeping with its original charter\, admission is free—donations are suggested to ensure the future and quality of Wagner’s free education programs and to preserve its National Landmark building and collections. \nSuggested Donations \n$25/Family \n$10/adult \n$5/student \n$0 – Wagner members \nFor any questions\, please email communications@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x17. \nIf you would like to check your membership status or become a member\, please email AbigailC@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x11.
