Join Friends of the Delaware Canal for its 12th annual signature event, which benefits the preservation and improvement efforts of the Friends of the Delaware Canal.
This year’s Faces & Places activities and festivities, beginning at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, will center around New Hope, the canal, and the artist and environmentalist, William Francis Taylor.
• Take a step back in time as you enter the Locktender’s House, 145 S. Main St., New Hope, and discover what life was like on the Canal.
• Rediscover the Towpath with a new exhibit focusing on local painter and preservationist William Francis Taylor. Taylor was instrumental in founding the Delaware Valley Protective Association, the precursor of the Friends of the Delaware Canal.
• Tour the Parry Mansion and learn about Benjamin Parry and his family. Hear about the Parry Mill and how the town of New Hope got its name.
• End the day with drinks, dinner, and fun at Oldestone, a unique restaurant in a historic 150-year-old setting. Enjoy a special presentation of the Friends’ 40th Anniversary video.
