Neighbor Day Open House at Founder's Hall

What were the Brewerytown, Fairmount and Sharswood neighborhoods like a more than hundred years ago? What exactly goes on behind the 10-foot wall of Girard College? How did Stephen Girard become the richest man in America?

Step inside this awe-inspiring National Historic Landmark and visit the newly reinstalled museum, which features expanded sections on Girard College’s relationship with the neighborhood, the school’s landmark civil rights cases, and the student experience at Girard over the years.

• This open house event is FREE, and open to everyone. Advance registration is helpful for us, but walk-in visitors are very 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 available for free on-site; we are also accessible by several bus lines and are a half-mile walk from the Girard Avenue subway stop.
