Eastern State will be closed on New Years Day (Thursday, January 1). We’ll be open and operating under normal business hours on all other days this week.

Justice 101 — Powered by the Eastern State Center for Justice Education, Justice 101 is a discussion series that dives into some of the most pressing issues in criminal justice today, through a historical lens and with a focus on civic education. Each program includes interactive online or in-person elements, expert voices, and opportunities for community dialogue.
