In honor of The Battle of Germantown, our partner Historic Germantown stages a yearly reenactment on the battle’s anniversary. The grounds of Cliveden are transformed by over a hundred Revolutionary War re-enaction actors in full uniform. Historic Fair Hill participates with a “field hospital” for wounded soldiers, with our neighborhood friends. We will splint arms, bandage up head injuries, and send the junior troops back out to play!

HFH Field Hospital is part of the Battle of Germantown Re-enactment at Historic Cliveden, located at 6401 Germantown Ave.

"My students love getting their hands in the dirt, caring for a little plant, tasting what is ripe. Being out here calms them, makes them happy. One ESL student wrote her first essay about her trip to the garden.”

Teacher

“My kids love playing here- running, digging, climbing trees, finding bugs. They want to come over every day."

Neighbor

"Thank you is simply not enough to express what a joy it is to take a class to the library! They absolutely love what you’ve provided and they love having a physical book to read. Library visits are the highlight of the week. As a teacher it’s wonderful talking to all of you - your positivity is much needed and your kindness is very appreciated."
