Historical Society of Pennsylvania

On Nov. 17, 2021, Jim Murphy spoke to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania about his book “Real Philly History, Real Fast.” He discussed: where the Acadians lived in Philadelphia; who may have been the city’s first nude model; what Philadelphian has more than 40 towns named after him; where the Liberty Bell really received “an additional crack”; what the Philadelphia Eagles’ connection to the U.S. Custom House really is, and more!
