Join Eastern State Penitentiary as we commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his 1963 "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Engage in special readings from the landmark text and respond to its relevance today. All special activities are free and open to the public.

Nov. 26th - Jan. 9th

Come zipline with us at Refreshing Mountain for our holiday special! Five years ago we decorated a few of our cabins with Christmas Lights. We were reminded that we all need more Light in our lives, so each year we've added more lights and more activities as the tradition grew. Last year we were honored to feature local non-profits in our donation based drive thru, and the community gave generously. For 2021, we have 30% more lights! We also have added an observation deck and wildlife center tour, along with a special walk thru experience that we hope will connect you, your family, and the Joy of Christmas.
