Activities include an address by Christie Duncan Tessmer, General Secretary of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, signing of a commemorative photograph by guests, and a tour of the building and grounds with an attention to memorial trees honoring some of the founders. The Lehigh Valley Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, was established in 1949 after gathering informally since 1923. A Meetinghouse was constructed on the present three-acre site in Hanover Township chosen so as to be accessible to a widely-scattered membership today ranging from Stroudsburg to Springtown and from New Jersey to Hamburg.
Parking is available at the Meetinghouse, with overflow at 3897 Adler Place.
