The Danielle Rice Legacy Circle honors the memory of a great friend of Eastern State who served as Chair of our Board of Directors from 2014 to 2019.
Danielle Rice is remembered nationally as a museum education visionary who built a unique cultural legacy for the Philadelphia region. 
Danielle was an optimistic and enthusiastic advocate who guided Eastern State through a period of incredible growth, leading the charge for effective governance, strategic planning and a new mission.
She also set a generous example when she made a gift to Eastern State in her will – one of the largest gifts we have ever received from an individual.
