Local Treasure - Moravian Pottery and Tile Works

One of least visited historical landmarks in Bucks County (in my opinion) is the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, in Doylestown. I think a lot of local residents have heard of the place, but not many that I've talked to have even actually gone inside.

This was once a tile factory run by Henry Chapman Mercer, one of the prominent figures in Bucks County History. We took the tour recently with our family and we all really enjoyed it. They continue to make tiles to this day, although there was a period when the factory was defunct.



Here is a link to their website:
