During the Battle of the Brandywine on September 11, 1777, the American Army used the walls of this Quaker Burial Ground in its first line of defense, and both armies used the meetinghouse of Quaker pacifists as a hospital. Behind the wall is the common grave of British and American soldiers killed in the battle. The Peace Garden at Birmingham surrounding this grave is a place to contemplate a world without war and is dedicated to the imperative need to employ peaceful alternatives to deadly conflict.
