Planted by Ed on 11/02
Location: Bucks County, PA
Nearest town: Doylestown
Trail rating: 1st leg easy
2nd leg easy/moderate
INTRODUCTION
Located in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania is an old growth forest, a
castle and a pottery & tile works. This area, the walk along the way, and the
hunt for the "Blue star" and "Crimson Cat" are what you will enjoy today. Wear
good walking shoes.
STARTING POINT & DIRECTIONS
You have two options:
1.) Park near the Mercer Museum/James Michener Art Museum complexes along Pine
Street in downtown Doylestown and walk up the hill to the Courthouse where you
will head east on Court Street for approximately one mile. Along the way, you
will experience the sounds and sights of Doylestown
as well as the many beautiful and interesting 19th century homes. You will
eventually approach two concrete pillars on the left that guard the entrance
to the Moravian Pottery & Tile Works where the hunt really begins. This walk
is
know as the "Mercer Mile".
2.) If a sightseeing walk is not on your calendar for today, then park on
Court
Street by the cemetary and walk about 1/4 mile to the two pillars.
