The Benjamin West Society is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation that seeks to preserve the memory of the father of American painting, Benjamin West, by connecting the various sites linked to West in suburban Philadelphia, his birthplace and the area institutions that preserve and display his works. We hope to make his childhood home at the Square Tavern in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, a focal point for remembering the artist. We are commissioning a life-sized statue to be placed on the Tavern grounds showing the young West. We have exhibits inside the Tavern that promote his life and career. We hope that by promoting the life and works and local ties of Benjamin West we create an economic engine for preserving the Tavern building and site.
