Bucks County – A Creative Place To Live

Most have heard Bucks County is famous for its landmarks and covered bridges, but did you know we are also quite well known for some great authors?

In 1932, “The Good Earth” written by Pearl S. Buck of Perkasie won a Pulitzer Prize as well as a Nobel Prize. She was known for her work as an advocate for women’s and minority rights. Guided tours of her 1825 farmhouse are available. The National Landmark also boasts a gift shop, amazing gardens and special events.

James A. Michener wrote over 40 books, most of which incorporated history as well as local geographic family sagas. He won a Pulitzer Prize for “Tales of the South Pacific” in 1948. Located in Doylestown, the James A. Michener Art Museum shows the artistic beauty of Bucks County.

Ever heard of the Berenstain Bears? Authors Stan and Jan Berenstain of Solebury became well known in 1962, when the first Berenstain Bears book was published.

Fall Leaves – Enjoy Them!

Know the phrase “take the time to smell the roses”? I invite you to take the time to enjoy the fall colors.

Take a look around. Our area is inundated with amazing colors right now. The trees are blazing with orange, yellow, and brown. The leaves are scattered all over the ground. It’s a beautiful time of year to take a walk, enjoy the crisp fall air, and breathe in the scenery before it is all covered in snow.

Walk around your development – or even better – take a stroll through one of our many local parks. Some parks in Bucks County that are great to visit include Lake Towhee in Langhorne, Silver Lake in Bristol Township, Tinicum in Erwinna, and Core Creek located south of Newtown.

All the parks mentioned above offer hiking trails – some also have picnic areas, off-lease dog parks, playgrounds, and boating and fishing areas.

Enjoy this beautiful weather – and get a breath of fresh air!
