Founder's Day Open House at Founder's Hall

In addition to its regular weekday hours (10-4 Wed-Fri), Founder’s Hall Museum hosts a monthly weekend open house. Visitors can enjoy special activities, along with the opportunity for a self-guided visit to the museum.

Join us in May as we celebrate Founder's Day. Founder's Day is marked every year on the Saturday closest to Stephen Girard's birthday and we welcome alumni and the broader community to campus. As part of the festivities, the museum will be open 11-4 for self-guided visits and there will also be a donation-based "take-a-book" table of Girard memorabilia.

• This open house event is FREE, and open to everyone. Advance registration is very helpful for us, but walk-in visitors are welcome.
• Founder's Hall is a National Historic Landmark. The museum is located on the second floor and requires climbing a flight of stairs to view.
• Because Girard College is an active school, you will quickly check in with security when arriving on campus.
• Parking is not avaiable on campus on Founder's Day, but there is plenty of local street parking. We are also accessible by several bus lines and are a half-mile walk from the Girard Avenue subway stop.
