Blogs from Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States, North America

On the way home from our camping trip to Allegheny National Forest, we pulled off at a rest area for the usual bathroom break and snack re-stock. Rest stops like these always always have one of those twirly stands with pamphlets for other attractions in the area. While I was waiting for everyone else...I browsed the pamphlets and grabbed one that really stood out to me labeled BOOKS!! It turned out to be an advertisement for a book store in Harrisburg called Midtown Scholar. http://www.midtownscholar.com/ Later on I looked it up and saw pictures and decided that I HAD to make a trip there.

That’s surprisingly hard on a Sunday in King of Prussia, which is all office parks. What it does have is the Court and Plaza of King of Prussia, the largest mall ... read more

What drew me here was historical buildings and art galleries. We visited Mercer museum first. The building was essentially concrete entirely with exception to certain parts. The museum was filled with gazillion things invented by Mercer(not sure if it was solely his collection). The museum was built to be a place where Mercer could showcase his invention to later generations. He really taught ahead of time and wanted to make sure people who came after him get to see things that were created in the past. Most of the stuff here were household items, transportation, and miscellaneous things. We also booked the tour at Font Hill ... read more
