MLK Day of Service at Historic Fair Hill
Historic Fair Hill is a 5 acre historic site where notable abolitionists and women's rights activists were buried in the 1800s. It currently serves as a community space, arboretum, and garden. We seek to carry on the ideals of those changemakers through initiatives focused on literacy, food justice, and greening.
On MLK Day, volunteers will clean up trash along the blocks surrounding the property to help beautify our neighborhood. Children are welcome, and can help with raking, moving tree branches, and garden work on the grounds; there will also be a read aloud for them. The activity starts at 10AM. At noon, volunteers will gather by a fire to reflect on Dr. King, sing Freedom hymns, and read aloud excerpts from speeches.
The burial ground is located at 2900 Germantown Ave. between Indiana and Cambria Streets. The gates to the grounds are on Cambria and Indiana. Street parking is available. The 23 bus stops at the burial ground. Note that this is an all outdoor activity so dress accordingly.
