New Hope - Trains and Tourists
littlesam1 Says: Like many of the small towns in Maryland and Pennsylvania, New Hopes history revolves around the railroad. I have several VT pages on small towns in the area and they all share a theme of trains and railroads. New Hope has a renovated station and a steam engine train that...
Ivyland Express to Galleries & Museum
jelw Says: The Ivyland Steam Locomotive is a staple "To Do" in New Hope. This charming vintage engine runs through the beautiful Bucks County countryside daily. Once you return from the rails take time to check out the Michener Museum and the Haas-Muth Gallery amongst other...
grandmaR Says: Since 1957 there has been an antique car show in the summer in New Hope. We attended in 1969 when we were living in Philadelphia in our 1932 Plymouth. The car has an antique car license on the back from Pennsylvania, and on the front is a 1932 license from Colorado. One of...
bct341 Says: The Delaware Canal is the only remaining continuously intact canal of the great towpath canal building era of the early and mid-19th century. The canal remains today with almost all of its features as they existed during its century of commercial operation. Through its...
bct341 Says: Walking along the canal is nice.. it is even nicer with that special person.. The path along the canal is not busy because most people are shopping or hanging out on the main street. So.... you can definitely get away from the rest of the crowd and have a nice walk.......
bct341 Says: A walk along the 60-mile long towpath of Delaware Canal State Park is a stroll into American history. Paralleling the Delaware River between Easton and Bristol, this diverse park contains an historic canal and towpath, many miles of river shoreline and eleven river islands....
bct341 Says: Hmm.. I took this pic as I was sitting at the canal and just enjoyed the view as the canal boat came by.. and also as I people watched :) I included it as a tip because as I remember my day .....this moment stood out because it was so nice. Sometimes we don't relax and just...
Free guided hikes along the Delaware Canal
digwemust Says: The 60-mile Delaware Canal towpath has lots of activities, but among the best are the lesser-known FREE guided hikes by the Friends of the Delaware Canal (www.fodc.org).Every Saturday in October and at other times of year as well. FODC volunteer guides explain the history,...

gjheymach Says: This is located just west on 202 outside of New Hope. The manager is Michael Conti who has made this place a super find! If you are expecting GREAT food, in an ambiance where you can hear yourself in a conversation. Servers who are bright, helpful and truly people...
Frans Bar: Bad Service, Vulgar Owner
dopydoggy Says: We had to ask to have our order taken and our table to be cleaned 3x. When our appetizers were tossed onto our dirty table (with no napkins, utensils, plates or drinks), we asked for the third time if our table could be cleaned. The answer we recieved from our very young...
Bucks County Playhouse: see a play
Pawtuxet Says: Once Upon A Mattress was playing when we were in town. Unfortunately we were only there for the day, so we didn't get to see a performance. These little community theaters are always fun on a summer night tho.
grandmaR Says: In the summer of 1969, we attended an antique car show in New Hope. This is a show that has been held every year since 1957, and is still being held. We drove there in our 1932 Plymouth. We belong to the Plymouth 4 & 6 Cylinder Owner's Club, and they have their National...
Pawtuxet Says: New Hope & Ivyland Railroad steams through the hills and valleys of Bucks County starting from the old train station on West Bridge Street. Everything is so close, between the train, canal, bridges, shopping, and then into Lambertville, New Jersey. You don't go very far to...
Suzie Hot Sauce: Hot Sauce and more
t1teach1 Says: All customers at Suzie's Hot Sauce are able to test their tastebuds (and tolerance) with samples of hot sauces, salsas, dips, and other snacks. Most items can be purchased (and sampled) to fit your taste. Whether you like it mild or HOT, HOT, HOT you can definitely find...
Petrus Gallery: Beautiful Jewelry
kazander Says: The Petrus Gallery is the place to go for gorgeous jewelry made with a huge array of stones such as amethyst, turquoise, amber, peridot, agate, ect.... From rings to bracelets to necklaces, you'll certainly find something you must have! They seem to forever be having a half...
feline01 Says: This town is a tourist trap, designed for day-trippers or weekenders. The original town can still be found. Just walk the canal, visit the historical society and look at the architecture. Find any spot along the Delaware River and you'll be back to the late 1700-early...
jelw Says: This is one of my very favorite places in the world. A grassy knoll with a charming mill, babbling brook, towering hemlocks, smiling sheep and a manger. It looked just like this 40 years ago and still looks just like this today.The mini-sheep are often out in the meadow, if...
Interiors of old train station
Pawtuxet Says: the old wood stove still sits in the middle of the floor to keep the station warm You can find brochures on local attractions here. Usually there is someone to answer questions, and of course, you can arrange to board the train! Nice job of keeping the station in good...
Pawtuxet Says: Lots of interesting old buildings have been restored,... and even tho things are kind of touristy and commercialized, I have to be glad that the town still exists and is being taken care of. I think I'd like to go when the crowds are not there.
Pawtuxet Says: Another re-use of an older structure. Here we see a restaurant enjoying the space of an old Victorian homestead. Makes an interesting spot for lunch or dinner.Who doesn't love sitting on a front porch watching the folks around town go by?
