Historic Sights Throughout Bucks County


Bucks County is filled with history. Events that founded our country and region took place in many towns and townships throughout Bucks County, which provide our area with a very rich culture.

Stover-Myers Mill was built around 1800, and renovated in 1834. The mill was used to grind grains into flour, with power supplied by a waterwheel. Cabin Run Covered Bridge is located a short walk from the mill. Stover-Myers Mill is a very unique place to visit, offering tours and picnic grounds.

Pennsbury Manor is a living history museum, and was built between 1682 and 1684. It was the home of William Penn and is built along the Delaware River. Visiting the manor will give you the opportunity to experience colonial life and activities, and have the chance to take a guided tour.

Thompson Neely House was formerly a military hospital and was built in 1702. The hospital was used for sick and wounded soldiers who were under command of Brigadier General Lord Sterling and Lt. James Monroe (Lt. James Monroe later became President of the United States). The home is located within Washington Crossing State Park.
