Montgomery County

Horsham

A township, not a borough — no Main Street, just five office parks and a roster of Fortune 500 tenants. Easton Road still runs past an 1803 stone Quaker meetinghouse and the old airfield where a local aviator once built mail planes, now home to Air National Guard pilots flying Reaper drones.

Panda Pavilion

The Blair Mill Road Chinese takeout for General Tso's and Szechuan shrimp, built around the pickup counter more than the dining room. Open to 11 on weekend nights, which is rather the point of a place like this.

537 Easton Rd Ste B

Dim Sum Factory

Cantonese dim sum on Horsham Road, dumplings and a long list of small plates without the drive into Chinatown. There's a bigger Chinese menu too if someone in your group won't do dim sum.

Teapioca Lounge

Bubble tea in the Horsham Point plaza, milk teas and fruit teas with the boba done the way you'd want. A cold, chewy stop for the mid-afternoon slump.

MaGerk's Pub & Grill

A sports pub pairing Philly cheesesteaks with what the house calls grub with a Baltimore twist, and the kitchen holds out until 11 on Fridays and Saturdays. It's the Horsham branch of a small family of pubs with siblings in Fort Washington and Maryland.

307 Horsham Road

The LOFT Whiskey Bar

Whiskey bar and bottle shop upstairs from Iron Abbey on Easton Road. Deep pour list, a quieter room than the pub below, and bottles to take home.

680 Easton Rd 2nd Floor

810 Coffee Den

coffee shopespressobreakfast

Espresso and a panini on Welsh Road, with a back meeting room you can book for when working from home stops working. Weekday hours run 7:30 to 3:30, so it's a morning-and-lunch operation, not a nightcap.

810 Welsh Rd B2

Travelin' Man Brewery

Small-batch brewery on Cloverly Lane, pouring its own beer in a taproom tucked into the Horsham industrial blocks. The kind of place you find behind a loading dock and keep coming back to.

430 Cloverly Ln

Horsham Farmers' Market

Sunday mornings, June through October, on Babylon Road — produce, flowers, sweets, and handmade goods from vendors set up indoors and out. Leashed dogs welcome, and monthly winter markets carry it through the cold season.

Spice2Nite

Adult boutique on Easton Road stocking lingerie and novelties. Not the warehouse-on-the-highway kind of place.

537 Easton Rd

Horsham Square Pharmacy

Independent pharmacy in Horsham Square that doubles as a gift shop, the opposite of the chain-drugstore experience. Fill a prescription and leave with a card and a candle too.

575 Horsham Rd c20

Fresh Market Bakery

Bakery off Welsh Road in Horsham, small and easy to miss. Bread and pastries over the counter, no website to point you to.

100 Welsh Rd

Underwater World

scubadiving

Underwater World is Horsham's scuba shop on Easton Road, stocking gear and running certification classes for people who'd rather be underwater. A specific little corner of retail to have out here.

495 Easton Rd

Cigar, Cigars - Horsham

A cigar shop on Easton Road stocking the sticks and humidor supplies, plus the slow counter conversation that comes with them. The tobacconist you visit, not the one you order from online.

537 Easton Rd

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. Day programs, camp sessions, and rentable land along the creek.

600 Witmer Rd

Jarrett Nature Center

A half-mile loop past pond, woods, meadow, and wetland, with interpretive signs illustrated by Hatboro-Horsham student artists. Trails are open dawn to dusk; leave the dog at home, per the center's own rule.

411C Babylon Road

Graeme Park

The Keith House is the only surviving residence of a colonial Pennsylvania governor, anchoring the 42-acre grounds of Horsham's lone National Historic Landmark. Guided tours run Friday through Sunday; the nature trails and picnic spots are yours the rest of the time.

859 County Line Road

Pennypack Farm & Education Center

Working community farm and CSA on Mann Road, with growing fields and education programs open to members and volunteers. Join for a summer share and end up weeding on Saturdays.

685 Mann Rd

Chestnut Creek Park

Eighty acres given over almost entirely to football — home turf of the Horsham Hawks, with three full-size lighted fields and two half-size ones for when the schedule runs past sunset.

273 Lower State Road

Good questions

What is Horsham known for?

Township living with the errands close and the noise far: Graeme Park’s 1722 mansion, the Power Line Trail, and Hatboro’s main street five minutes away.

How far is Horsham from Philadelphia?

About 35 minutes by car, off-peak. No station in Horsham proper, so Hatboro (Warminster Line) is about 10 minutes by car.

Is Horsham walkable?

Partly. There is a walkable stretch, but plan on driving between some stops. We score its main-street walk 1.5 out of 5; the Horsham scouting report shows how that compares to the other towns.

What county is Horsham, PA in?

Horsham is in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Nearby Montgomery County towns we cover: North Wales, Ambler, and Collegeville.

Is Horsham a good place to live?

That depends on what you want out here, so we keep a full Horsham scouting report for exactly this question. The quick numbers: a typical home runs about $455K, schools are Hatboro-Horsham School District, and 15,193 people call the census-designated place (Horsham Township) home.
