June 20th & 21st Live a Little - Learn A Lot
June 20th, 6 p.m.
Watson-Curtze Mansion, 356 West Sixth Street

Want to learn more about Pennsylvania's Civil War history? Looking for an interesting and unusual way to spend a weekend getting to know your Commonwealth? Need a place to take your out-of-state visitors that's more unique than the latest blockbuster? Try one of four Quest for Freedom Live & Learn Weekends hitting Pennsylvania in 2008.

Taking place simultaneously in the regions of Erie, Lancaster, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, a learning weekend is no more than a two-hour drive away—no matter where you live in Pennsylvania. At a Live & Learn Weekend, you'll have the chance to tour local Underground Railroad and Civil War-related sites with a living historian, talk to a local scholar about how the sites tie into the larger national story and receive a book to take home to deepen your experience.

Featured book: Forever Free by Eric Foner

Activities continue at St. James, A.M.E.
