Description

From Colonial times to the current, the warmth and ambiance of Bucks County’s inns and taverns have forever beckoned those looking for refreshment or rest from the rigors of the road. Whether welcomed by the glow of a crackling fire or the sounds of vigorous conversation, guests were sure to find sustenance, shelter, companionship, and camaraderie within their walls. But even so providing lodging, these celebrated “publick houses” have long played the most important role within the development of this richly historical region as meeting places, stagecoach stops, news centers, entertainment venues, polling stations, and auction houses. Bucks County Inns and Taverns documents how these establishments were once the point of interest of rural and town life and what number of continue lately as landmarks, inspiring a sense of pride in Bucks County residents.
