UPPER BUCKS
An area rich in tradition
Appreciated for its rich history and scenic beauty, Bucks County spreads a welcome mat across gently rolling hills, broad valleys and tranquil lakes, presenting unsurpassed pageantry of four-season splendor. Winding country roads lead the wonderer through covered bridges, past sparkling creeks, fertile farmlands, spectacular barns, pre-revolutionary stone homes, gracious Georgian and Victorian mansions, and occasional modern masterpieces of architectural design.
The people, the townships, and the county have all contributed much to ensure the preservation of the rural beauty and resources of the land. The area is noted for its working dairy farms, fine gentleman’s properties and equestrian estates. There are families who have farmed and lived here for generations, professionals, business people and people associated with the arts - a fascinating mix.
The area’s boroughs provide unique shopping opportunities. Hunt for antique finds in downtown Quakertown, browse one-of-a-kind boutiques in Perkasie, or dine along the banks of the Delaware River after watching a polo game in the horse park.
The area is steeped in tradition, dynamic and innovative, as its leaders position the region for the future.
