Excerpt from Lessons From the Lowly: The Old Eagle School, Tredyffrin, Chester County, Pennsylvania
The present building was erected in the year 1788, succeeding a log meeting house known as the Lutheran Church, and was in constant public use as a school and meeting-house for lyceums, lectures and religious services until 1873, when it was abandoned, and for some time was occupied by squatters. In 1895, after unique legal proceedings, the original trust was re-established by decree of the Court of Chester county, and Trustees appointed, by whom the property was restored. It is now maintained as a historical and reference library and a repository for historical relics, and for such other public uses as the changed environment may warrant.
