I love and Miss Bucks County! Grew up there. There is also a great reenactment that takes place athte Neshaminy State Park around Memorial Day weekend. Civil War Reenactors set up campsites for the entire weekend and stage the different battles. It is really cool in that they are in character all weekend!
