Washington Memorial Heritage, a secular nonprofit 501c3 PA Corporation, was founded in 2005. We educate the American People about the legacy of George Washington and the Founding generation and the importance of preserving the extraordinary art and architecture of Washington Memorial Chapel.

On Thursday, June 19, 2025, the Leadership Forum will welcome Historian Joseph Seymour discussing his book, The Pennsylvania Associators, 1747-1777. How and why did Pennsylvania evolve from a pacifist haven into the epicenter of a war of revolution? Join us as we take a deep dive into Pennsylvania history! All talks take place in the Chapel’s Bishop White Library. Doors open at 6:00; the talk will begin at 6:30. Admission is $10; student admission is $5.

Please enjoy our French Alliance Day Short Documentary!
