    During the Centennial year of 1876, Philadelphia was host to a celebration of 100 years of American progress. The Centennial was the first major World’s Fair to be held in the United States, opening on May 10, 1876 on a 285-acre tract of Fairmount Park. The Centennial City will commence at Memorial Hall, current home of the Please Touch Museum, for a “Lunch & Learn” lecture and tour. The program will reconvene at Laurel Hill Cemetery where so many of the high profile political, industrial and financial leaders of this time later made their final resting place. Please note that participants will be responsible for their own transport to and between Memorial Hall and Laurel Hill Cemetery. Detailed directions between sites, just 3 miles apart, will be provided at registration.
