The oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed horse show in the country, held on the Main Line in Devon since 1896 with hunter, jumper and equitation classes. The companion Country Fair, a fundraiser for Bryn Mawr Hospital dating to 1919, runs alongside it with shopping, food and a midway.
The history within reach
The academy opened in Wayne in 1928 as an all male military boarding school.
Work on the arch began in 1914 and it was dedicated in 1917, built in the Roman triumphal form and set on the high ground inside the park.
A Welsh settler put up a stone cottage at the Swedesford and Gulph roads crossing around 1719, and it was running as a tavern by 1769.
The first complex opened in 1963 and became known as the Plaza.
John and Jane Moore handed their estate to the Continental Army for the winter of 1777 to 1778, and Washington assigned it to General Peter Muhlenberg for the length of the Valley Forge encampment.
