Walking through Time at the Doylestown Historic Cemetery
by Brooke Hillman on June 20, 2017
Call me morbid, but I have always been fascinated by cemeteries. Maybe it’s the writer in me who is intrigued by the stories that lies behind each of the names carved into the polished stone, or the history nerd in me who is drawn to the dates marking the lives of those who walked the Earth at a different time...I’ve visited cemeteries from Europe to Bermuda and throughout the U.S. (I said it was okay to call me morbid). However, their history and their stories still don’t stack up to those found in one of my favorite graveyards – the Doylestown Historic Cemetery…
Capturing Aerial Images of Bucks County
by Paul Loftland on December 13, 2016
I needed to get a bird’s eye view of landmarks and points of interest in Bucks County. This is possible with technology using unmanned aerial vehicles, a.k.a., drones, but I wanted to show a different view of Bucks County by getting high in the sky while taking video, 360 Virtual Reality panoramas and photos of locations in Bucks County.

Fenton F.'s #BucksCountyMoment: Exploring Doylestown and New Hope
November 3, 2014
Me and my girlfriend Alexis decided to take an afternoon one Sunday for a drive around Bucks County. We stopped in New Hope first. We go on daytrips often so wanted to walk around Doylestown since it was a beautiful day. We stopped at Ninas Waffles and Ice Cream and had an amazing snack. We walked over to Fonthill and we just missed the last tour, so we walked around the grounds and took some…
