Perkasie, named after William Pennas country manor in Upper Bucks
County, was a boomtown that sprang up along the North Pennsylvania
Railroad in the late 1870s. From the 1880s to the 1920s, Perkasie
grew
rapidly, becoming a transportation and cultural center and drawing
crowds with commerce, industry, summer retreats, and even an
amusement park. Through nearly 200 vintage postcards, Perkasie
chronicles the expansion of this once small town as well as its
impact on neighboring rural communities such as Rockhill,
Bedminster, and Silverdale. The postcards in this book re-create a
visual memory of the economic and social changes that worked to
shape this dynamic community.
