The Lenn-Lenape Indians (meaning “original people’) lived in the area, seasonally, in villages along rivers and streams. Known as a peaceful farming and fishing tribe, they traded freely with settlers on their arrival in the 17th century. William Penn met the Indian Chiefs of the Delaware Nation on the land where Hilltown Village now sits. In those days, it was known as the "Perkasie Indian Town." Settlers, mostly Welsh Baptist, with the few Hugenots and English Quakers arrived in approximately 1700. They petitioned the King's Governor to establish a town in 1721. The Old Bethlehem Road (the Minsi Indian Trail), now called Hilltown Pike, was used from the year 1683 to travel from Philadelphia to the Durham iron mines. Hilltown Township is home of Pearl S. Buck, author, who lived much of her early years in China, writing over 65 books. Pearl’s house stands one mile west of the town of Dublin. Today it is used for social functions by the local community. When your family requires a change from their daily routine, entertainment, recreational facilities, and a variety of restaurants can readily be found throughout the immediate area. Sports enthusiasts can view year-round activities at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and Wachovia Complex. The attractive country lifestyle–minutes to shopping, just a short hike to recreational and cultural activities, including beautiful Lake Galena in Peace Valley Park, excellent school district, ease of commuting to major business centers–and the list goes on and on! The Estates at Hilltown is the perfect location, offering exclusive signature homes on one-plus acre wooded home sites built by Toll Brothers, America's Luxury Home Builder. 5 SCHOOLS Private Elementary Grades (9 -12) Grades (Preschool - 5) Archbishop Wood High School Plumstead Christian School Warminster, PA Plumsteadville, PA 215-672-5050 215-766-8073 Grades (9 - 12) Grades (Preschool - 8) Lansdale Catholic High School Penn View Christian School Lansdale, PA Souderton, PA 215-362-6160 215-723-1196 Public Grades (6 -12) Plumstead Christian School M.

Box 37127 Washington, D.C. 20013-7127 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD y, SKIPPACK STONE ARCH BRIDGE |- HAER NO. PA-311 Location: Germantown Pike over Skippack Creek, Evansburg State Park, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Significance: The 1792 stone-arch Skippack Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in continuous use in the Unites States and possibly the oldest to have retained its original dimensions. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Description: Skippack Creek is a shallow, slow-moving stream which flows south past the Germantown Pike. Trees cover on the gentle slopes to either side of the site. A recently restored mill stands north of the bridge on the western bank, and its tailrace rejoins the creek near the western piers. Eight semi-circular arches, each approximately 20' at the spring line, carry Skippack Bridge across the creek. The bridge is 2 67' long and 24' wide, with the top of the coping approximately 21' feet above the waterline. Both approaches slope down towards the center of the bridge, though the roadway itself is flat. The arches and spandrels are recessed six inches from the parapet and wing walls. The bridge contains several types of masonry: Large stones make up the piers. The cut sandstone voussoirs are the only part of the original arches still visible; over the past two decades sections of the rubble stone intrados have been strengthened with injections of gunnite, and in 1992 all remaining exposed sections were covered.
