While Quakers (The Religious Society of Friends) began in England about 1650, this presentation will start with WilliamPenn arriving in America and founding Philadelphia in 1682. It will discuss the spread of Quakers throughout the greater Delaware Valley and the impact they had on the development of the region. It will cover the development and application of the core values of the Friends Religion throughout the area, covering the founding of many schools, hospitals and retirement communities and their status in today’s world.
As part of the presentation, we will cover the founding of Medford Leas and other impacts right here in the general Burlington County Community. There will be time for questions
and answers as well as tips on researching Quaker History.
