The first OYRHS lecture for 2020 has been announced! Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks.

It’s been 2 years TODAY since we’ve opened the new space. Have you been by to see it?

ON THIS DAY in history in 1935, Jimmie Foxx was traded from the Philadelphia Athletics to the Boston Red Sox. In this recent acquisition to the OYRHS collection, Foxx and his son are shown in the International News Photo “Jimmy Opens ‘A Christmas Package’ Before Christmas” publicizing the news. Jimmie Foxx began his career with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1925. He played in Boston and with the Chicago Cubs before coming back to the Philadelphia to play for the Phillies at age 37. In 1951, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

On this day in history.

Happy Thanksgiving from Old York Road Historical Society! Seventy eight years ago on Thanksgiving, the annual Abington-Cheltenham “Turkey Bowl” football game was held at Temple University Stadium.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
