Built in 1775 by Jacob Knorr (or Knor), the Concord School House was the first English-language school in Germantown, which was then a separate town about six miles northwest of Philadelphia. The one-room schoolhouse opened to students in October 1775 and served as a school room until at least 1889. Today it operates as a museum.
The building stands on the corner of the Upper Burial Ground at Washington Lane and Germantown Avenue, in what is now the Germantown section of Philadelphia. It forms part of the Colonial Germantown Historic District, which was named a National Historic Landmark District in 1965.
