Historic Walking Tour of Tyler Park (Saturday)

October 9, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

This annual event is designed as a self-guided walking tour of the historic properties and farmhouses scattered throughout the Tyler State Park grounds. The self-guided tour will begin at 10am at the Boathouse Pavilion on Saturday, October 9th and again on Sunday, October 10th.

Representatives from both the Newtown Historic Association and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.will provide a general overview and answer questions at the beginning of each day. All registrants will receive an informative, limited edition Tyler Park Historical Booklet that contains rare photographs and detailed descriptions of the many historic properties and farmhouses, including the construction of the Tyler mansion, and how they were acquired by the Tyler family in the early 1900s.

Once registrants receive their tour booklets and orientation, they will be free to tour the park on their own over the course of the two-day event. A silent auction of several original watercolor paintings of Tyler Park sites by Craig Hackett, a local artist, will be on display.

Tickets will be available online, coming soon.
