It was also home to the Valley Forge Music Fair from 1955 to 1996, hosting hundreds of famous musical and comedy acts.

Most of Devon CDP lies within the boundary of Devon Elementary School, outside of the CDP. A small section is in the boundary of Hillside Elementary School in Tredyffrin Township.[5]

The district operates two middle schools, Tredyffrin/Easttown and Valley Forge. Conestoga High School, located west of Devon, near Berwyn CDP, serves the CDP.

Devon Preparatory School, a Catholic school, is located just east of the CDP in Tredyffrin Township.

Parks[]

Hilltop Park, with a Devon address but outside of the Devon CDP, is operated by the township government.[4][6] It has a pavilion with toilets, a picnic area, two soccer fields, a "tot lot", and trails for walking purposes.[6]
