Well, as you can see no old fort here now, There was a house here, then a church, now the New Hope Library. And there was a cache which started inside but has been “checked-out”.
Ok so the fort's gone and a church was built and then converted to the New Hope Library. Now New Hope’s library will soon begin a new chapter in its 208-year history. Be sure to stop inside and sit on the famous Nakashima chairs and read at the table. On April 2, 1918, the Free Library of New Hope and Solebury was officially incorporated. Over the next 25 years, the Library quickly grew from two shelves in the drug store, to a dedicated building at the old Salt House. Finally in 1974, the Library moved to is present location on Ferry Street. The former New Hope Methodist Episcopal Church was originally built in 1876 as the New Hope Presbyterian Church. However its foundations go back to colonial times as a patriotic fort to protect General George Washington from British attack prior to the Battle of Trenton. Over the years, the Library has established itself as a center of the community from participating as a War Services Library during the first and second World Wars, to creating classroom libraries for numerous schoolhouses throughout Bucks County. Its newly refurbished historic building is filled with local artwork and modern amenities, yet remains the heart and soul of the community. They are proud that their tradition of service continues through our civic nature, our educational programs and our collection. Please explore the Library, get a card and enjoy our many services as we open our doors to a new century. Parking is free during library hours only; see here for hours the parking is free- (visit link)
