Join us to learn about the history of Eastern State Penitentiary from HTFL staffer Scot Oldham, who previously served as a docent at the historic site.
Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cell blocks and empty guard towers. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America’s most notorious criminals, including “Slick Willie” Sutton and “Scarface” Al Capone.
