Darby Borough
Early on, Darby was known as the "Gateway to the South," welcoming travelers of the new world and providing food and lodging at its hotels and taverns. As the Minquas Indian trail, now Main Street, changed from mud to logs to cobblestone to blacktop, the place called Darby became the industrial, financial, political, and transportation center of Delaware County. John Blunston's 1682 William Penn Grant settlement had its first school in 1683, established the second oldest library in the United States by 1743, and still has its Bunting Friendship Freedom House dating to 1699, which represents Darby's part in the Underground Railroad.
Collingdale Borough
Collingdale, a family-friendly community, is home to Collingdale Park, one of the biggest parks in Delaware County, and Collingdale Community Center, a venue for a wide variety of community events. Collingdale's long history of community service and patriotism is reflected in the All Wars Memorial and in its citizens, who provide many services for those in need. The borough can boast of its championship sports teams that still produce world-class athletes, such as Carson Thompson, who pitched a no-hitter exhibition ball game in the 1936 Olympic Games. Collingdale is also the home to the Eden Cemetery, the oldest African American-owned cemetery in the United States, and is the birthplace of John Bartram, America's first botanist. The images in Collingdale Borough represent the town from its incorporation in 1891 to the present and are a reflection of what makes the borough unique.

This is the story of an almost completely forgotten summer art school that flourished first in Darby, PA, and then in Fort Washington, PA, b...
