Quaker Meeting Houses in Bucks County

Bucks County is FULL of history, but none more fascinating than that of our very pioneers that arrived here in the 17th century and organized themselves such that they could continue their traditional religious practice.

They call themselves the "Religious Society of Friends", or better known as the "Quakers", and they were central to many of the political and economic issues of their day.

They built buildings for their monthly meetings and eventually expanded to 14 different "Meeting Houses" today within Bucks County.

You can view them each individually by clicking the links below:

• Bristol Meeting House
• Lehigh Meeting House
• Plumstead Meeting House
• Wrightstown Meeting House
• Doylestown Meeting House
• Buckingham Meeting House
• Makefield Meeting House
• Quakertown Meeting House
• Yardley Meeting House
• Middletown Meeting House
• Solebury Meeting House
• Fallsington Meeting House
• Newtown Meeting House
• Southampton Meeting House

With monthly, quarterly and yearly meetings to set agendas and organize education, etc, the Religious Society of Friends is alive and well in Bucks County and plays a vital roll in our history and in the shaping of the culture and tradition that we are surrounded by today.
