Visit Bucks County

Tucked neatly within Philadelphia’s Countryside amidst rolling hillsides, working farms and picturesque old-time towns, Bucks County is marked by a particularly inviting countryside. Visitors in search of historical delights, artistic treasures, charming accommodations, or eclectic shops will find that Bucks County offers it all. In fact, one in four Americans lives within 250 miles or less of Bucks County making it a viable getaway for many.

Throughout history, Bucks County has served as a stage upon which some of the nation’s most dramatic changes have played out. George Washington’s Christmas Crossing, re-enacted each year on the Delaware River, changed the tide of the Revolutionary War. Ever since, Bucks County has played a pivotal role in American history and the very fabric of American culture. This legacy of change is balanced by the area’s timeless appeal as a getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
   
New Hope, a popular artist colony, offers small-town charm comfortably offset by casual sophistication.

Michener Art Museum, once the Bucks County Prison, features art from 20th century America, sculptures and changing exhibitions.
