May Tea @The Old Barracks Museum
Sunday May 3, 2026
Join us for tea at the Old Barracks Museum! Our May Tea event is a semi-formal tea service, with all proceeds supporting the museum's operations. The May Tea recalls the Pink Tea, an event that the women of the Old Barracks Association held to raise funds for the purchase and restoration of the barracks. Included with the purchase of a ticket is a tea service featuring various teas, finger sandwiches, and pastries, as well as a teacup to take home. Seats are limited, and tickets will likely sell out quickly. Teacup color will vary and cannot be reserved in advance. Brunch attire is suggested, and don't forget to wear your best hat for a chance to win a prize in the hat contest! The May Tea will be held on Sunday, May 3rd. Tickets are $40 for members and $45 for non-members. Tickets will be available on March 30th. Click here for more information

Guided Walking Tour, Downtown Yardley
Sunday May 3, 2026
A guided walking tour of downtown Yardley will be offered by the Yardley Historical Association on Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m. The tour will begin at the Old Library by Lake Afton, 46 West Afton Avenue. Come see how Yardley has changed during the last four centuries. Historian Charlie Thomforde will lead a leisurely one-hour walk through the center of town. Today it retains much of its original character and illustrates how it has changed from a single grist mill on Brock Creek to a thriving, diverse community. The Yardleyville Bridge, the Delaware Canal, the railroad, runaway streetcars, two competing fire companies, and life in small town America will all be part of the story. The tour will end at the Old Library by Lake Afton where old photos of town will be on display. A $10 per person donation is requested. Reservations are required. For more information about the tour or other activities of the Yardley Historical Association, call 215-208-1154, e-mail info@yardleyhistory.org, or visit www.yardleyhistory.org.
