On Saturday, November 12th, the birthdate of Princess Grace of Monaco, the East Falls Historical Society is planning a gala celebration of the reinstallation of the Grace Kelly Gallery at our new location, The Apartments at Henry Avenue, 3232 Henry Avenue from 1 to 4 pm. Free parking is available onsite.
Guests will stroll through the gallery exhibit while enjoying sumptuous hors d’oeuvres, sparkling wine and more. The self-guided tour includes Grace Kelly artifacts - movie posters, dolls dressed in costumes from Grace’s films, photographs, plates and textiles designed by Grace, and many signed Christmas cards and letters. Old movie footage of Grace’s life will be presented to the sound of period music.
The space was granted to EFHS by NewCourtland at the completion of Phase 1a of the Apartments at Henry Avenue. As NewCourtland is graciously co-sponsoring this event, residents will be invited as special guests.
If you reserved by email, send your check - $20 per EFHS member, $25 for others. Please make checks payble to East Falls Historical Society and mail to Katy Hineline, 600 E. Cathedral Road, Apt. D305, Philadelphia, PA, 19128. Ticket purchases are not tax-deductible.
