About this Event

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 themed highlights and activities, along with the opportunity for a self-guided visit to the museum.


In honor of Veteran's Day, join us in November for Military Memories Open House at Founder's Hall as we highlight some of the many alumni who served their country, the history of military training at the school through the Girard College Battalion, and life at Girard College in wartime, from the Civil War onwards. This in-person event is perfect for history buffs, veterans, and families looking to learn more about our military heritage. See you there!
