Offbeat Philly is dedicated to making the history of Philadelphia and its surrounding area fun and accessible to visitors and locals alike.
We see history differently. The past is so much more than a dusty list of names and dates. It is how we engage with the people who came before us, faults, foibles and all.
Past events impact our collective future. Through knowing the history of our city and country, we can make a brighter future together.

She was a part of creating unforgettable experiences in Washington DC and New York City. Her students met the civil right leader, John Lewis, quizzed their senators on policy, and learned what America’s past had to do with them.
She brought that personal history to guests in her home city of Philadelphia through unique and thoughtful historical experiences.
