Birmingham (PA) Meeting House

The Birmingham Quaker Meeting house was built in 1763.  During the Battle of Brandywine it was used as a hospital but also the walls of the cemetery provided covered for the soldiers.  There are two cemeteries that surround the property:  a Quaker cemetery that possibly has some of the dead soldiers but also a larger public cemetery that is open to all denominations.
