Doll House
After years of painstaking rehabilitation, the Cheltenham Township
Historical Commission finally celebrated the Richard Wall House grand opening
as a house museum in September 1994.
Dress Collection
Exhibits, such as a farmers' tool display, a colonial bedroom, a large
dollhouse, and a Roaring Twenties room, fill the house. In addition, the old
stable has also been converted into a visitor orientation center.
You are welcome to browse the Library, which contains
wonderful pictures and books about many well-known Township residents like
Lucretia Mott; Reggie Jackson, and movie director Richard Lester (A Hard Day's
Night). These materials are also available for reference use.
Other exhibits include an exclusive glass bottle collection, fine clothing,
and many other interesting historical artifacts, like the beehive oven that
depicts cooking in the 19th Century.
The Historical Commission continues to improve the Wall House and to seek
materials for exhibit in the house. Anyone willing to donate antique furniture,
clothing, kitchenware, tools or other items in good condition should contact
Dorothy Spruill, at 215-884-4306. Donations are tax deductible.
