Arch Street Meeting House will be open for FREE on Independence Day for Wawa Welcome America’s Free Museum Day.

ASMH is one of the largest and most historic Quaker meetinghouses in the world, and the museum’s two-acre property is the final resting place of an estimated 20,000 burials – one of which is the First Commandant and “Father” of the U.S. Marines, Samuel Nicholas.

Throughout the day, ASMH will have special self-guided activities, like a scavenger hunt around the meetinghouse and grounds to uncover the hidden stories of Quakers in the Revolution.
