Event Navigation
Governor William Keith, the first owner of Graeme Park, helped to rid the port of Philadelphia from the scourge of Blackbeard the Pirate. The Schooner Pursuit Historical Society will be here with their mobile museum to educate visitors on the difference between pirates and privateers, sign up recruits, and tell you about life at sea as a privateer. Children and visitors are invited to dress in their best Pirate costume, walk the plank, and partake in a hunt for hidden treasure. Free demonstrations, plus nominal charge for tour of the Keith House ($5 /12+, $3/3-11).
