Peddler's Village

A 42-acre village of country shops, restaurants, and gardens at Lahaska

Peddler's Village is a 42-acre cluster of brick walkways, shingled cottages, and seasonal flower beds at the corner of Route 202 and Route 263 in Lahaska. It is part shopping district, part theme village, with around sixty independent shops, several restaurants, a sit-down hotel, and an indoor family entertainment centre. The shops lean towards crafts, jewellery, candles, fudge, Christmas decoration, and country home goods.

The village is at its best on autumn weekends, when the Apple Festival, the Scarecrow Festival, and the Strawberry Festival each draw big crowds. The Cock'n Bull restaurant in the centre is open year-round and does a respectable American kitchen menu. Parking is free and plentiful. Avoid weekends in October if you don't want crowds.

A story
Peddler's Village opened in 1962 when Earl Jamison bought an old chicken farm at Lahaska and started moving up old colonial-era buildings from across Bucks County, planting flower gardens between them. The Apple Festival, started in the early years, draws around 100,000 people on the first full weekend of November.
