A Saturday in each

Horsham

  • The Bagel and Bread House: A from-scratch bagel and bread shop in the Horsham strip, strong on the morning bagel-and-spread run.
  • Horsham Farmers' Market: Sunday mornings, June through October, on Babylon Road — produce, flowers, sweets, and handmade goods from vendors set up indoors and out.
  • College Settlement: The main grounds of College Settlement, the Horsham nonprofit that's been sending city kids to summer camp in these woods for decades.

Sellersville

  • The Washington House Hotel & Restaurant: The dinner-and-a-show half of the Sellersville Theater complex, sharing a wall with the 325-seat STG stage so you can eat and walk next door without moving the car.
  • Sellersville Beverage & Cigar: A family beer distributor since 2006, with a walk-in humidor of a few thousand cigars set behind the cases of craft, import, and domestic.
  • Lake Lenape Waterfalls: The spillway pours over a low WPA-built dam into the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek, the natural halfway point on the loop that circles this 122-acre park straddling Sellersville and Perkasie.
