Two Bucks County towns earned the top spots for the most unique small towns in The Keystone State, writes Luana Ferreira for The Traveler.  

The towns were ranked based on their potential for a weekend getaway based on tourist attractions, local cuisine, green spaces, hiking trails, retail outlets, historical sites, and cultural hubs.  

New Hope came in at number nine on the list. Nestled along the Delaware River, this iconic Bucks County town is the pillar of the arts community.  

It’s home to an abundance of galleries that feature works from local artists and artisans.  

The critically acclaimed theater, the Bucks County Playhouse, sits along the river that is just a bridge-walk over to Lambertville, New Jersey.  

Walking along these cobblestone streets, visitors can admire the 18th-century architecture.  

Whether tourist or resident, hopping on the New Hope Railroad Train for the “No Hope After Dark,” Halloween excursion is sure to fill your spooky side with delight.  

Doylestown ranked number six on the list, for its eclectic downtown shops and restaurants.

It is home to the renowned James A. Michener Art Museum, and Fonthill Castle, which features the collections of Henry Mercer.  

The Moravian Pottery and Tileworks is also an homage to Mercer’s contributions to the region. Music lovers can pay a visit to the highly lauded Siren Records.
