The West Room has no basement! It was built atop a burial ground. The curved panel above the front benches is a sounding board", used to amplify the voices of the people who spoke from underneath it.
Amanda, the curator, is an amazing host/information guide, and she gave a wonderful reflection and representation of the Quaker life to us personally. The other museum staff, mostly volunteers, were equally knowledgeable and kind.
T'was decent, unfortunately they'd've run out of complementary rich tea biscuits
Fascinating!!! I'm from Pittsburgh and never learned much about the Quakers. The staff here was very friendly and love to answer questions!
If you're a history buff you should definitely stop in. Cool old place
