Discover Henry Mercer's Castles in Doylestown.

Story

Visit two amazing castles in Doylestown, PA., built by archaeologist, collector and tile maker, Henry Chapman Mercer. You've never seen anything like this anywhere. Enter the Mercer Museum's six-story, concrete castle for a trip back in time. The Museum was completed in 1916 to house Mercer's vast collection of early American everyday objects. You will find more than 60 early American crafts and trades represented. One mile away, visit Fonthill Castle for a guided tour of Mercer's dream home to see his colorful, handcrafted tiles embedded in the castle's floors, walls, and ceilings, and to see his collection of prints and objects from around the world.

Great way to spend a couple hours looking at the tools that were once used by each trade. They have each trade separated into different rooms, then all the tools used for that specific trade. The building itself was probably my favorite as it's unique and maze like towards the top.

Unfortunately my visit to the town was during a holiday week, so I didn't get to enjoy the inside. However the entire town seemed to be very relaxing and historical and I love to come back for the real experience next time!

Amazing collection! A solid snap shot of turn of the century life! Don't forget to climb to the top to see the gallows! Really interesting stuff in there; a must for any history buff!

The Mercer Museum is and architectural marvel, created entirely of fast concrete and packed with all the ephemera of past ages. It's historical and fascinating, like time travel to the past.
