Help Us Preserve This Sacred Space
With your help, we have begun to preserve many of the sacred spaces that tell the story of Eastern State and its inhabitants, but there is still much to do.
Plans include additional infrastructure improvements to The Alfred W. Fleisher Memorial Synagogue, converting the historic electrical building into a welcome center, restoring the 1923 greenhouse for a new exhibit, and reimagining the historic Industrial Building to create a flexible, two-story education facility. We need your continued support.
