À propos de nous
Welcome to the Bucks County and Lehigh Valley Historic Tavern Trail! Bucks and Lehigh (and neighboring) Counties in Pennsylvania are rich in history, dating back to colonial times. This group will explore that history through the bars, pubs, taverns and restaurants that have served these communities for hundreds of years and played a part in the history of our nation. Think McCoole's Red Lion Inn, Brick Tavern Inn, Spinnerstown Inn, Jamison Publick House, Bethlehem Hotel and many more.
So if you're interested in meeting new people, socializing, soaking in the historic atmosphere and learning something about the history of these establishments, this group is for you.
Meetups will be monthly to semi-monthly at a rotating location, and most events will feature a historic presentation of some kind. Just casual get-togethers where we have a chance to mix-and-mingle, enjoy some food and drink, make intelligent conversation and learn something about the history of the venue where we're meeting. No dues, fees or cover charges, this is a fun thing for me, not a side hustle.
See you on the trail!

Doylestown During the Revolution: The Water Wheel Tavern
Water Wheel Tavern, 4424 Old Easton Road, Doylestown, PA, USOur year-long America250 celebration moves to Doylestown, the modern-day county seat of Bucks County, as we meet for lunch and drinks at the historic Water Wheel Tavern and learn more about the role Doylestown played during the Revolutionary War.
The Water Wheel Tavern dates all the way back to 1714, when it was a grist mill (driven by a water wheel) built by an English Quaker named John Dyer. Long before it was a tavern, it was known as Dyer's Mill. It would later host a post office and general store. It didn't become a tavern until after prohibition ended in 1933.
We'll take a look at Dyer's Mill's use during the Revolutionary War era, the importance of grain to the war effort, and learn more about Washington's time in Doylestown in the summer of 1778, on his way to the Battle of Monmouth. There's even an interesting native American angle to this story.
Meet for lunch and drinks at 1 p.m. See you there!
