Roughly an hour and a half from New York City by car, Bucks County, Pennsylvania is an easy and highly rewarding getaway destination. The area has much to offer in the way of festivals and fairs as well as shopping opportunities, recreational pursuits and historical landmarks.

Walk in the park where George Washington led the Continental Army across the Delaware River in December of 1776, browse the galleries of New Hope or head to a museum in Doylestown.

Outside of the shopping villages and historic towns, Bucks County is speckled with twelve covered bridges dating back to the early 19th century. A self-guided covered bridge tour takes visitors past a 5,300-acre state park and countless picture-perfect farms. Historic yet lively, quaint but hip, Bucks County is a wonderful mix of old-world charm and modern style.
