Tour the
original Damascus Grade School, the Pearce House Museum,
the Quaker Meetinghouse, and the Quaker Grade School.
Be sure to also visit the Delzell Barn, a two-story
carriage barn that the John Delzell family built for
their horses. It is one of the last barns in Damascus
that has not been altered to accommodate an
automobile. This building was donated to the Historical
Society in 1993. The long-range plan has been for the
barn to be used for displays of antique farm equipment
and accessories but a shortage of funds for restoration
has delayed fulfillment of that desire. Part of that
dream has now been realized with the recent connection
of electricity to the barn.
