Downtown Yardley Walking Tour

Downtown Yardley Walking Tour

See how the town has evolved

walkers at the Old Library

Join Charlie Thomforde for a one-hour tour of the heart of Yardley with our newly published walking tour guidebook in hand. While strolling on Afton Avenue, Canal Street and Main Street, you will see how the town changed from a single grist mill on Brock Creek to a thriving, diverse community. The Yardleyville Bridge, the Delaware Canal, the railroad, trolleys, two competing fire companies, and life in small town America will all be part of the story.  Old photos of town will be on display at the Old Library after the tour. 

Donation: $10 per person.  Reservations are required.  To make yours, please call  215-208-1154 or send an e-mail to info@yardleyhistory.org.
