DCHS' close partnership with the Sports Legends of Delaware County Museum (SLDC) also known as the Delco Sports Museum, dates back to the founding of SLDC in 2001 and DCHS' move to our current location in downtown Chester. Learn more about the history of the Museum and their extensive collection housed at the Radnor Township Municipal Building at delcosportsmuseum.org or contact Jim Vankoski, curator, at vankoski21@comcast.net.
DCHS is proud to work with the Media Arts Council (MAC) to curate displays that feature both local artists from the Delaware Valley, and historic treasures from Delaware County.
