MERION STATION, June 18 – Merion Monthly Meeting this week was awarded a $20,000 America250PA Semiquin Grant to help with restoration work at Merion Friends Meeting House, announced state Rep. Mary Jo Daley.
The Merion Friends Meeting House is an active and historic Quaker meeting house at 615 Montgomery Ave. in Merion Station. Its construction began as early as 1695 and was completed by 1715, making it the oldest Friends Meeting House in the Delaware Valley.
“I am happy to announce that an America250PA grant to preserve and restore the Merion Friends Meeting House has been awarded,” said Daley, D-Montgomery. “This grant honors more than three centuries of history – it supports a place of profound Quaker heritage, where William Penn preached, and generations of Pennsylvanians have gathered since the seventeenth century.
“With this funding, we can safeguard the Meeting House’s unique Welsh architecture and continue its legacy as a living landmark in Merion Station.”
Semiquin Grant recipients represent 44 communities and organizations from 35 different counties across Pennsylvania. With generous funding support from Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Pennsylvania General Assembly, America250PA’s Semiquin Grants are supporting educational, civic and celebratory events and programming that elevate and enhance Pennsylvania’s celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday in 2026.
