Join us for a talk by Jeff Denman, author of Philadelphia Quakers and the American Revolution.

Fleeing political upheavals in England for settlement in the New World, Quakers rose to unprecedented economic and political power in the Pennsylvania colony. Through the words of those who were there, author and historian Jeff Denman vividly describes the precipitous rise of the Philadelphia Quakers and their fall during the American Revolution.

This program is made possible through a partnership between the Haverford Township Historical Society and the Library.

The Haverford Township Free Library and the Haverford Township Historical Society are participating in a Township-wide collaboration of non-profit organizations producing a special series of events celebrating the semiquincentennial in 2026.
