ISI’s headquarters provide the perfect environment for thoughtful discussion of great ideas, works, and thinkers. Conveniently located just an hour from the birthplace of our nation, Philadelphia, and less than two hours from both Washington, DC, and New York City, ISI’s campus offers a unique and strategic setting for free inquiry, debate, serious study, and lifelong friendships.

Foyer

A quintessential and beloved component of ISI conferences is our hospitality—lively socials where guests engage in stimulating conversations that continue well into the evening. In the Foyer, new friends and future leaders will meet for the first time over refreshments and appetizers. Lifelong friends and alumni will say goodbye after a long weekend of learning and fellowship.

Great Hall

Seating over 200 people, and with beautiful views of Hoopes Reservoir, the Great Hall will be the centerpiece of the ISI campus and the perfect setting for lectures, debates, and seminars. These programs are key components of the ISI educational experience. A typical conference includes talks from prominent conservative thinkers on timeless and timely topics such as freedom, faith, justice, and the story of America’s Founding.

Alumni Hall

With panoramic views of the water and forest, Alumni Hall is the perfect location to honor the great men and women who have advanced the cause of liberty in America through their support of ISI.

With a visionary lead gift of $5 million from ISI trustee Linda L. Bean, successful entrepreneur and granddaughter of the founder of L.L. Bean, ISI will open a permanent home for its educational program by Labor Day 2022. The Linda L. Bean Conference Center will complement ISI’s existing headquarters and serve as a “Counter-University,” shaping promising young conservatives into principled and virtuous leaders.

“ISI has worked steadfastly to preserve our nation’s founding principles and values. Nothing is more important than giving that effort a permanent home for understanding the pathways to liberty.”—Linda L. Bean
