Merion Friends History Festival is this Saturday!
Remember to join us Saturday, May 21, 10 am – 3 pm, rain or shine, for the Merion Friends Meeting History Festival. Want to know about the Underground Railroad, the Abolition Movement, the early (mid-19th century) Women’s Rights Movement? We’ll have re-enactors presenting the views of significant Quakers of that time. Want to know more about how ordinary people lived in the 1840’s? We’ll have food, children’s toys/games/crafts, horse and carriage rides, a blacksmith, a silhouette cutter and more. Want to go deep into the history and artifacts? We’ll have poster exhibits, quilts, clothing, and pictures. Always wondered what a Quaker meetinghouse is like inside, or want to know where the bodies are buried? There will be tours of the meetinghouse and burying ground.
