Friday, March 28, New Horizons invites seniors 55 and over to visit the
beautiful museum and studio of Philadelphia artist Wharton Esherick and enjoy a
lunch break at the historic Black Powder Tavern in Wayne. Nestled in the woods

as one of the most unique buildings in the US, filled with unusual spaces, his
innovative furniture and wood sculptures.
