Acting as the county seat of Bucks County since 1813, Doylestown is best known for its eccentric benefactor, Henry Chapman Mercer.  The latter's legacy is best seen in his three concrete buildings collectively known as The Mercer Mile, but there are numerous other attractions in or near the town.  Other than the Mercer Museum, Fonthill, and the Moravian Pottery Works, Doylestown also offers modern art at the James Michener Art Museum and fabulous shopping, restaurant, and entertainment opportunities.  Visit Doylestownpa.org for complete information!

Doylestown is also the home of the Heritage Conservancy, a non-profit organization to preserve the natural and historic heritage of the area. Call (215)345-7020 to find out more!
