History
Lifelong Bucks County resident Earl Jamison founded Peddler's Village in June 1962. The 18th-century style specialty shopping village was inspired by Jamison's travels to the unique town of Carmel, California, in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Peddler's Village opened with just 14 shops and the Cock ‘N Bull Restaurant, which Jamison ran in the early years.
More than 60 years later, Peddler's Village now contains more than 60 shops, seven full-service restaurants, and several quick-service eateries and tasting rooms set on 42 acres of landscaped gardens and brick walkways. It's also home to Giggleberry Fair Family Entertainment Center, featuring a vast three-story indoor obstacle course and a restored 1922 carousel, a popular birthday party destination.
