QUAKERS: Colora Meetinghouse won't be open for worship

A few weeks ago I wrote that several historic Quaker meetinghouses in our area that are usually closed will be open for worship on upcoming Sundays. Unfortunately one of them on that list, Colora in Maryland, will not be open because a large tree fell on it a few weeks ago, causing serious damage. I'm told that the tree is being cleared, but it's a gradual process. It's a real shame to hear this, because that meeting was in excellent repair.
But you can still visit other old meetinghouses.
Old Kennett Meeting on Route 1 will be open at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 30.
Homeville Meetinghouse, 4904 Homeville Road, Cochranville, will be open for worship at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30. 
London Britain Meetinghouse, 1415 New London Road, Landenberg, will be open for worship each Sunday through Sept. 6 at 10:30 am.
Parkersville Meetinghouse, 1232 Parkersville Road, Kennett Square, will be open for worship at 2 p.m. Sunday Sept. 13. (A tree also fell on Parkersville's property, but unlike Colora it didn't hit the meetinghouse.)
