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:

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

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.

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.
