We have returned again and again to the picturesque, historic towns along the Delaware River, which forms the state line of . We enjoy the area largely because there are no “big box” stores or typical malls to crowd out the historic features or to prevent local artisans from selling their unique creations. This is a place to enjoy a laid-back, peaceful holiday with plenty to do for tourists of any age.
Many hotels and inns are locally owned and catered, although some chain hotels are nearby. The historic Black Bass Hotel in the Lumberville, Pennsylvania, historic district dates to 1740 but has elegantly modern bedroom suites. Here we enjoyed a delicious dinner by lamplight along the Delaware Canal and overlooking the river.
