Nitre Hall

Nitre Hall is a nineteenth-century, American building that is located in Haverford Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

[1] Built shortly after 1800 on the banks of Cobbs Creek, by Israel Whelen, Jr., the hall was the residence of the master of the Nitre Hall Powder Mills, which has long since been torn down.

The top floor contains various temporary exhibits and the educational Colonial Living Experience.

[1] Nitre Hall is open to the public May through October, in December for special events, and by appointment for a nominal admission charge, according to the Haverford Township Historical Society.

The historical society puts on a "day in the life" show for the township's fifth graders.
