Diamond Rock Schoolhouse Opening Day June 11, 2017

Diamond Rock Schoolhouse, otherwise known as the octagonal school house, is truly one of Tredyffrin Township's historical gems! The beautifully restored Diamond Rock Schoolhouse is a historic building, built in 1818, and now maintained by the Diamond Rock Schoolhouse Preservation Association. A visit to the schoolhouse, whose very building and the treasures displayed within, opens a window into Tredyffrin Township's storied past, revealing a way of life fifty years before the first public schools!

Please join members of the Diamond Rock Schoolhouse Preservation Association for Opening Day on June 11, 2017, 2:00-4:00pm. Just three miles west of Valley Forge National Park, this beautiful little corner of Tredyrffrin Township is rich in history and beautiful views. It is well worth the drive or bike ride!

The Diamond Rock Schoolhouse will be open every Sunday 2-4pm from June 11 – August 27, 2017. Small group tours can be arranged. For more information please go to our website: http://www.diamondrockschool.org/id2.html.

Make a day of it! The Wharton Esherick Museum, just a mile up the road from the Diamond Rock Schoolhouse, is a must see! The studio and furnishings of the craftsman-artist Wharton Esherick (1887–1970), reflect Esherick's evolving sculptural style from Arts and Crafts, to German Expressionism, and the free form Modernist curves that marked Esherick's later work. Tours are by reservation only, so plan it for a Sunday afternoon to the Diamond Rock Schoolhouse. For more information go to: http://www.whartonesherickmuseum.org/visit.html.

Parking is available along Yellow Springs Road, including the underpass just beyond Diamond Rock Road.
