The Penn Treaty Elm

Haverford’s serene campus is a nationally recognized arboretum with 400 species of trees and shrubs, a 3.5-acre duck pond, gardens and wooded areas.

Haverford's elm is a direct descendant of the famous tree under which William Penn met with Lenape Chief Tamanend in 1682 and pledged a treaty of friendship.

Then & Now: The Skate House Now

Then & Now: The Skate House

The Skate House hasn’t seen any actual skaters for decades. But it’s still in use, booked for receptions and student events such as club meetings and even poetry readings.

Missed yesterday’s photo? See the Skate House back “Then“.

The Skate House, pictured here in 2008, was altered from its original design after a 1979 fire.

Then & Now: The Skate House

Then & Now: The Skate House

The Skate House looks thoroughly rustic, but was designed by a Philadelphia architect in 1949. The building, outfitted with a porch, two fireplaces, and a sitting room with benches, regularly played host to crowds of skaters back in the days when the Duck Pond could be counted on to freeze solid in winter.

Come back tomorrow to see the Skate House “Now”.

Fostering Global Thinkers

“It was wonderful to discover that my interest in craftswomen, and the contexts in which they work, could span a year of exploration and grow constantly over the course of that year.” – Madeline Kreider-Carlson ’10

Madeline won a prestigious Watson fellowship that she used to study women's craft cooperatives in Guatemala, Uganda, Mexico, Indonesia, Mongolia and Egypt.
