Welcome to Swarthmore. Our community is small and diverse, full of many things to do and experience. Here are a few small ideas of ways to spend your day:

• Visit Downtown Swarthmore and take a look at our unique shops and service businesses. Many stores to meet your needs, and among them, you’ll find a great toy shop, rug shop, a flower shop, hardware store and more. Different types of foods and services too.   Check out the “Swarthmore Business and Community Organizations” Directory for more information.

Buy something delicious at the Farmers Market Saturdays between 10 am and 2 pm.  It is open May through October and is located in the Municipal parking  lot at the corner of Park and Dartmouth Avenues.

• Stroll along our beautiful streets. Swarthmore has been named a "Tree City USA ” for the past 25 years and is full of mature trees which line our streets- every season of the year it is a pleasant way to pass the day.  Pick up a copy of  the Swarthmore Historic Walking Tour at either the Library or the Borough Administration Office.  It's a fastinating look at some of Swarthmore's most interesting houses.

• Stop by Little Crum Creek Park and view our newly restored wetland. You’ll see many native plant species and see nature at work!
• Visit the Scott Arboretum located on the grounds of Swarthmore College.
• Knock on the door to the Fire House and take a look at our newest truck, Tower 14, or one of our restored antique fire engines!
• View an art exhibit in Borough Hall. Swarthmore Friends of the Arts updates the exhibits every other month- stop by and see what is new!
• Also in Borough Hall, on the upper level are two walls full of historical Swarthmore photos.
