The event kicks off at Hapeville's Christ Church with festive live orchestral music followed by a history lecture by Author and Historian, Jeff Clemmons. Following the lecture, guests may purchase a book (gift wrapped with a museum donation) and enjoy the brand new history exhibit over at the Hapeville Depot Museum.

About the Exhibit: In 1867, less than three years after the Civil War left the city in ruins, Hungarian Jewish immigrant Morris Rich opened a small dry goods store on what is now Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta. Over time, his brothers Emanuel and Daniel joined the business; within a century, it became a retailing dynasty. Join historian Jeff Clemmons as he traces Rich's 137-year history. For the first time, learn the true stories behind Penelope Penn, Fashionata, The Great Tree, the Pink Pig, Rich's famous coconut cake and much more.
