Walking Tour of the Paoli Battlefield (10/11/2025) Rain Date (10/18/2025)
Come out walk the hallowed ground of the Paoli Battlefield in Malvern, PA (Weather Permitting). Learn what happened here on the night of September 20, 1777, that led to this battle being called the “Paoli Massacre”. Answers to your many questions await you on this walking tour of the battlefield.
The tours run from 11:00am to 1:30pm and will start at the Valley Creek Church, right across from the street from the Malvern Borough Building at 146 Channing Ave, Malvern, PA 19355.
We do have one Porta John at the Paoli Battlefield and one at the park across the street from the borough building that people can use. Please bring a fold up chair or stool if you’d like – you will be able to take the chair or stool to your car after the initial lecture if you’d like or take it with you for the remainder of the tour. We will have bottles of water available, but only at the start and end of the tour. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear for walking around the battlefield, and trails in the woods. We will start at 11:00am. If there are two or more people coming in your party, you can park one car at the battlefield, but everyone needs to meet at the Parking lot at 146 Channing Ave, Malvern, PA 19355. Please bring $5 for a donation to the Paoli Battlefield Preservation Fund.
We will also have a sit-down tour of the battlefield at 2:00pm for anyone not wanting to go on the walking tour. Make sure you bring a seat, and we will meet at the Paoli Battlefield at the top of the ring road by the monuments to do this talk. This tour will last around 45-60 minutes. Feel free to stay and look around the area and grab a snack.
We will have books, hats, and tee shirts for purchase at the parking lot. We do take Cash, or Credit/Debit cards. Each purchase is a donation to the Paoli Battlefield Preservation Fund.
You will be given a tour booklet when you arrive. Please email [email protected] and respond if you want the Walking Tour at 11am or the sit-down tour at 2pm.
