Newtown Yardley, PA Events
Events for Saturday December 13, 2025
Holiday Open House, Yardley Historical Association
Saturday December 13, 2025
The Yardley Historical Association will welcome visitors to Holiday Open Houses on each Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. The festivities will be held at the Association’s headquarters located in the heart of Yardley at 46 West Afton Avenue. Amid evergreens and holly, the highlight will be an expansive model train layout with tooting engines, clattering cabooses, and trolleys. With familiar buildings, landmarks, and billboards, the railroad scene will evoke Yardley’s past and present. Standing tall above the trains will be a fir tree adorned as it would have been in Victorian times with chromolithography paper ornaments, cranberry and popcorn chains, real candles, and toys. Homemade cutout sugar cookies and warm cider will be offered to all. “Yardley” gifts – “Old Library Books” velvet ornaments from England, flour sack and embroidered tea towels, books, prints, and paper goods of all sorts - will be available to purchase for holiday gift giving or keeping. In the spirit of the season, the Open Houses are free. Donations are always welcome. Proceeds will benefit the Historical Association’s efforts to maintain the Victorian library building and its collections of books, documents, and ephemera related to Yardley’s history.

Thompson-Neely Evening Encampment Tour
Saturday December 13, 2025
General George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River invokes memories of the Continental Army struggling for its survival through the harsh winter weather, poor shelter, and scant clothing. Come join us on Saturday, December 13, 2025 as our living historians take you back in time to experience the reality of the encampment at the Thompson-Neely farm on which several regiments of the Continental army were quartered. This immersive experience will put you in the midst of what daily life was like for the soldiers, how they lived, what they ate, and most importantly how they survived the conditions before they crossed the Delaware River and went on to win at Trenton. There is two tour times available, the cost of this special tour is $10 per person.
