Time for #ThrowbackThursday but with a twist! In collaboration with the incredible ✨@lynx_peachy ✨on Instagram, enjoy this beautifully illustrated throwback of Horticulture Hall in 1938.
Did you know that Hort Hall was the sight of the first Women's Rights Convention in PA?
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the women past and present that have and continue to make a difference in bettering our world!
