The burying ground
contains the remains of many members of the Meeting over the years, but was also accepted non-Friends and blacks during periods when such practices were not known.
the meeting house
Merion Friends Meeting has the oldest continuously operated Friends meeting house
in North America. It was built in 1695 by Welsh Quakers, though the Meeting started worshiping as a group in 1682.
John Dickinson Bequest
Our campus was expanded when the family of John Dickinson, who helped draft the U.S. Constitution, donated the land where our activities building is.

Our beautiful cherry trees
in the burying ground vary in age from 80 years to 1 year old.
