About This Event
Elizabeth & Henry Drinker were affluent Philadelphia Quakers who worshipped at Arch Street Meeting House upon its construction in 1804. Revolutionary figures of their time, Henry was among those imprisoned in Virginia by Patriots in 1777 for refusing to pledge loyalty to Pennsylvania, and Elizabeth’s diaries spanning from 1758 to 1807 are considered the most detailed account of colonial life.
