Doylestown

The county seat of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Doylestown affords easy access to a number of nearby major cities: It is 25 miles north of Philadelphia, 65 miles southwest of New York City, and 15 miles northwest of Trenton, New Jersey. Doylestown’s origins date to March 1745, when William Doyle obtained a license to build a tavern on what is now the northwest corner of Dyers Road and Coryell’s Ferry Road (now Main and State streets). The growing suburb is proud of its historic roots, and lovingly maintains and welcomes visitors to such sites of interest as the Moravian Pottery & Tile Works, Pearl S. Buck House, and Fonthill Castle.

More can be learned about Doylestown’s history, castles, arts and culture, places to stay, available outdoor adventures, and shopping by visiting https://www.visitbuckscounty.com/towns-main-streets/doylestown-chalfont-warrington/. For example, the site says: “Doylestown is most famously known for the Mercer Mile, which includes Moravian Pottery & Tile Works, Fonthill Castle, and Mercer Museum. All three were built by archaeologist, philanthropist and famed resident Henry Chapman Mercer. His home, Fonthill Castle, is an eclectic mix of Gothic, Medieval, and Byzantine architecture made entirely of concrete in the early 20th century. The castle is available for public tours daily. The Mercer Museum, another concrete gem, was built to house Mercer’s elaborate collection of 40,000+ historical artifacts from the American Industrial Revolution. The collection includes everything from cigar store statues to a Conestoga wagon to a collection of chairs suspended from the ceiling. Lastly, Moravian Pottery & Tile Works is still today a “working history” museum that produces handmade tiles in the same fashion that Mercer perfected more than 100 years ago.
