Thousands of years ago Native American Indians lived along the Delaware River in what is now New Hope, Pennsylvania. William Penn arrived from England in 1682, and helped to build a community for his fellow Quakers. Later, General George Washington and his army marched along Old York Road through the center of New Hope and crossed the Delaware River nearby. In the 19th century, mules pulled canal boats along the Delaware Canal to carry food and materials to help build our young country. In the 1920s many artists came to New Hope to paint the beautiful landscapes in the area, and later the Bucks County Playhouse brought Broadway and Hollywood stars to town. Today, all of these wonderful events are still celebrated in New Hope where shops, theaters, restaurants, museums, parks and ice cream parlors all add to the fun of visiting this historic Bucks County town.

She serves on the Board of Directors of the New Hope Historical Society and of Pearl S Buck International, and volunteers in the New Hope-Solebury Elementary School. Gayle loves the beauty, history, arts, friends, restaurants, and ice cream of Bucks County. Roy Ziegler is the author of two books about New Hope history: New Hope, Pennsylvania: River Town Passages traces the history of 50 New Hope buildings as far back as 300 years, and The Parrys of Philadelphia and New Hope chronicles four generations of the dynamic Parry Family. His novel, Twilight of Separation is a coming of age novel set during the social turbulence of the 1960s. Roy is past president of the New Hope Historical Society and serves on the Society’s board of directors. Pat Achilles painted the illustrations of all the interesting and colorful places around New Hope for this book. Ever since she was in grade school she has loved to draw and paint. She likes reading about history, music, theater and art, and enjoys learning even more by visiting historic places and going to concerts, plays and art shows.
