Free Neighbor Days

Thank you for your interest in Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site!

While we remain committed to serving our neighbors in Fairmount and beyond, please note that our Free Neighbor Days program has been discontinued as of January 2025.

Eastern State is in the midst of an exciting period of transition and growth, which includes making some thoughtful shifts in the programs we offer. This year, we plan to develop a robust slate of programs in connection with civic holidays starting with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January. To ensure these celebrations are accessible to our neighbors and all community members, admission will be offered at free and/or discounted rates on these select days.

We are proud to be part of this vibrant community, and we deeply appreciate your support. We hope you'll join us for one (or many!) of these special celebrations this year.

You can find more information about upcoming programs on our events page. Plus, be sure to follow @easternstatepen on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok and sign up for our monthly email newsletter to stay up to date.
