Exclusive happy hour and tour for museum members.

Join us for an ISM members-only happy hour and tour. Enjoy drinks and light snacks on Olympia, then an exclusive tour with our expert ship staff. This tour will explore the Battle of Manila Bay on the ship where it happened. Along the outer decks, we will trace the preparations and alterations made for war, the causes that led to the first and most climactic battle of the Spanish-American War at Manila, walk in the footsteps of the gunners and crew, and hear the echo of Commodore's softly spoken command that heralded a new empire.

Happy Pollinator Week! We love our pollinators here at Friends of the Rail Park, they are an integral part of our world! Every June, we get to spend a little extra time appreciating the plants and critters that keep our ecosystems healthy and help make our food! You might think of bees when you think of pollinators (and you wouldn’t be wrong) but, they’re also birds, butterflies, beetles, bats, and rats! Any insects, mammals, or birds that are attracted to flowers' bright colors or nectar are pollinators! They move from flower to flower feeding, and inadvertently fertilize them as they transfer pollen.

Come discover the history of the Philadelphia region through the lens of the Delaware River. Enjoy hands-on programming, to crafts, on-water activities, and so much more!
