In honor of Women's History month, join us to explore how Girard College went co-ed in 1984 and the legacy of women at the school.
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 Women's History Month, join us at our March Open House as we highlight the contributions of women at Girard. Find out how the Pennsylvaia ERA led to Girard College becoming co-ed. Learn about our amazing alumnae, as well the women who have shaped Girard since 1848 (did you know that when Girard opened all the teacher and residential staff were female?)



Before you go
  • 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.
  • Check out www.foundershall.org for more information about our programs, collections, and online resources
