Geocache Description:

Friends Meeting, circa 1737, has played a vital role as one of the historic peace churches in Christiana, PA, which William Penn originally called The Servants' Land

Cost of the original tract granted by Thomas and Richard Penn, sons of William, in 1749, was eight pounds and a few shillings, and was some 56 acres to be held in trust for the people called Quakers. As Penn made bond with the Indians, so would we with all men. "We will be as brethren, your people and my people, as children of one father." To each other, "all the paths shall be open." When a wrong is righted, "the wrong shall be forgotten." "We will transmit this league between us to our children. It shall be made stronger and stronger, and be kept bright and clean without spot or rust, between our children and our children's children, while the creeks and the rivers run, and while the sun, moon, and stars endure." And Penn added, "We will go along the broad pathway of goodwill to each other together."
