Experience museums, galleries and fine artisan restaurants and shopping.

Rich in American history and blessed in natural beauty, our communities are perfectly positioned within a one-hour drive of both Philadelphia and New York and just three hours north of Washington, DC. Together we offer urban dwellers the ultimate country getaway. Our region has a long heritage of being an artist’s haven, as evidenced by hundreds of galleries and artists’ studios. It’s a place where many people still proudly make things with their own hands.
Over a hundred restaurants, home decor shops, antique stores, luxurious bed & breakfasts, spas, world-class theater, performing arts venues, a famed auction house, and one of the East Coast’s biggest flea markets lie waiting to be explored. For the outdoor enthusiast the pristine watershed is also home to all kinds of water sports from fishing to kayaking & canoeing, crew, and tubing, and is lined with miles of paths for walking, running, biking, horseback riding, and hills for world-class cycling.
