A quiet, authentic Friends Meeting House. I hadnt been there for about 10 years for a wedding. This time I was there, sadly, for a funeral. It is a place that makes me feel peaceful, welcome and thoughtful.

Very friendly and warm people. They had already closed when I stopped by, but invited me in anyways and gave me a tour of the building. I learned so much about Quakers and many of my ignorant assumptions were shattered. It made me eager to learn more.

I happened to find the Meeting Jouse right before a Wednesday evening meeting for worship and decided to attend. It was a nice quiet meeting and the Friends were very welcoming!

For a public park they sure dont treat it like that. They act like it their land and park and have a bad attitude.

Well worth a visit, right in the heart of historic Old City. Its a great way to learn about the present-day Society of Friends (Quakers) along with the rich history of Quakers in Philadelphia. And its a beautiful building.

Amanda, the curator, is an amazing host/information guide, and she gave a wonderful reflection and representation of the Quaker life to us personally. The other museum staff, mostly volunteers, were equally knowledgeable and kind.

The West Room has no basement! It was built atop a burial ground. The curved panel above the front benches is a sounding board, used to amplify the voices of the people who spoke from underneath it.
