 About our Cherry Trees...

 

 

A History of Merion Friends Meeting
"Among the companions of the founder of Pennsylvania, when he arrived on the shores of the Delaware, in the year 1682, were a large number of Welsh people of great respectability and substance. These excellent persons, before they left their native country, had purchased of the proprietary several thousand acres of land on the western side of the Schuylkill, about six miles from the spot fixed upon for the city of Philadelphia; and this tract was called Merioneth, in honour of their birth-place."

The First Welsh Settlement in Lower Merion and Narberth
1682-2007

 

On Saturday October 20
the play, "The Witch of Ridley Creek,"
a dramatization of the only witch trial
held in Pennsylvania,
was performed by members and friends
of Merion Friends Meeting
as part of the celebration of
the 325th anniversary of the
settling of the Welsh Tract.

 

 

and thanks to all who made
Eyes Wide Open Across Pennsylvania
a moving experience for so many!

and reminds us of the human cost of war.”
