Yardley

Yardley is a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, situated along the Delaware River with a mix of residential areas and open spaces. A historic canal towpath runs through the community, connecting its northern and southern sections.

The settlement began in the late 1600s when land was purchased from an early colonist and a first dwelling was built on the property. This founding shaped the borough's development over the following centuries.

Community gatherings take place throughout the year at local parks, where residents shop at seasonal markets featuring local goods and producers. These events form the social backbone of daily life in the borough.

The area is walkable, and the canal towpath provides a good way to explore the community on foot. Several public spaces offer convenient spots to rest and take in the surroundings.

A museum dedicated to model trains operates in the borough and draws collectors and enthusiasts from across the region. The collection features detailed railway scenes and historic models that appeal to hobbyists.
