On January 5, 2016, Penny Dwyer and John Connors, Penn Treaty Museum Board members,  gave a presentation at One Bright Ray Community High School in Philadelphia. History teacher Carlos Aponte assembled two of his history classes (approximately 35 students) so that they could learn more about the historical context of the meeting between William Penn and Chief Tamanend in 1692. Short videos on the Penn Treaty Museum were shared (see penntreatymuseum.org) and a small group of artifacts from the collection were viewed.  This was the second visit to One Bright Ray. A similar presentation was given to Mr. Aponte’s class a year ago.
