Mt. Concordia Walking Tour

June 26 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Yardley’s low-lying stretch along the Delaware River gets a lot of attention, but the high ground west of
South Main Street not so much. What is commonly known today as “College Avenue Hill” has many a
story. Quarrying was done here, industry flourished, “Yardley Heights” and “Mt. Concordia” were
among its names, it is the site of the town’s school, its growth was spurred by the advent of US Steel
and the Baby Boom, and the sledding tales are daring do.

Join Susan Taylor for a 1-1/2 mile walk from the Old Library, down South Main Street, up College
Avenue, and then back to the Old Library via Cadwallader Court to learn about some new wrinkles in the
history of our town.

Reservations are required. Please make yours at info@yardleyhistory.org or 215-208-1154.

A $10 per person contribution is requested.
