Book
Description: From Colonial times to
the present, the warmth and ambiance of Bucks County’s inns and
taverns have ceaselessly beckoned those seeking refreshment or
rest from the rigors of the road. Whether welcomed by the glow
of a crackling fire or the sounds of lively conversation, guests
were sure to find sustenance, shelter, companionship, and
camaraderie within their walls. Besides providing lodging, these
celebrated “publick houses” have long played an important role
in the development of this richly historical region as meeting
places, stagecoach stops, news centers, entertainment venues,
polling stations, and auction houses. Bucks County Inns and
Taverns documents how these establishments were once the focal
point of rural and town life and how many continue today as
landmarks, inspiring a sense of pride in Bucks County residents.
Author Bio: Kathleen Zingaro Clark, president of Historia Productions and author of Bucks County, is a researcher, writer, and presenter dedicated to preserving the history of this unique Pennsylvania region. She has assembled a captivating assortment of vintage photographs from the archives of preservationists, collectors, longtime residents, and historical societies throughout Bucks County. Review: Kathy Zingaro Clark’s Bucks County Inns and Taverns is a pleasure to read and a true gift. I was so excited to see such excellent coverage of the entire county. It is so rare to see a recent publication that recognizes and includes the historical significance of Upper Bucks County. Turning the pages was a
wonderful trip down memory lane and an insight to the role Inns
and Taverns have played in our history. |
