PEDDLER’S VILLAGE

Fun Times In Bucks County

By AP Connolly

One of Pennsylvania’s most unique destinations can be found in Bucks County. Set in an 18th-century Colonial village, Peddler’s Village affords guests plenty to do with open-air shops, a variety of quaint restaurants, and a working 1922 antique carousel. Make it a true getaway and book your stay at the charming Golden Plough Inn. In addition, it’s also a place for recreation and entertainment with special events and festivals to make a trip here that is more than memorable.

FUN HAPPENINGS
Scarecrow Display and Competition
Now through October 30th
For eight fun-filled weeks, 150 scarecrows dot the brick pathways of the autumn-tinted Village. Some are inspired by famous characters, some are humorous, some are scary—but all of them are carefully handmade by Philly-area residents and organizations. Visitors are invited to vote on their favorite scarecrows through October 11th; the creators of the winning scarecrows receive prizes.

WEEKEND HAPPENINGS
Outdoor Family-Friendly Walking Tour: GhostDusters
Weekends now - November 7th
Join the GhostDusters as they discuss Bucks County’s famous haunts. But beware: While some of the ghost tales are true, some may be, well, less authentic. (And none will cause nightmares.)
