Lenape/Pocopson School
The Lenape School, also called Pocopson School, was constructed on ground given by John Huey from his farm, now Brandywine Hills. Lenape School was built in what is now Route 52 to serve the children in the southeastern section of the township. The date given for construction of this building is 1882, but there are school attendance records for “Pocopson School” as early as 1865.
