New Hope, which was founded in the 18th century and is regarded as one of America's greatest art towns, is drawing visitors of all ages and backgrounds because of its natural beauty, historic structures, galleries, museums, and specialized businesses.
New Hope is walkable, wooded, and situated on the Delaware River. Originally founded as Wells Ferry circa 1715, it was once the home of the Lenni-Lenape people. After some mills were restored after a fire in 1790, it was renamed New Hope.
The quaint borough now features renovated historic buildings, great restaurants, quaint B&Bs, eccentric art galleries and craft stores, and scenic river dining and lodging.
Among its most visited sights are the Bucks County Playhouse and the Parry Mansion, which is now a museum.
Bowman's Tavern, The Salt House, and Triumph Restaurant and Brewery offer excellent eating experiences.
This area is also home to the ancient Logan Inn, one of Pennsylvania's most haunted locations, where Revolutionary War troops have been seen in the corridors.
