Introducing the Themes for 2020’s Night of Lights
|
|
On view every night from October 9 through the 25, this year’s extended Night of Lights can be enjoyed early, often, and anywhere in between! We’re excited to present some fantastic archival images and stories of Chestnut Hill and our surrounding communities, presented by the Conservancy and our community partners:
· Vanished Buildings
· A Civil War Hospital in Chestnut Hill
· Never Happened
· Germantown Avenue Before and After
· A Short Religious History of Chestnut Hill
|
|
Over the next month, we’re excited to take a deeper dive into the themes for this year’s slideshows as we prepare for Night of Lights. We’ll also share ways you can contribute your own stories of the community, past and present!
