Today, we are happy to announce a campaign that supports a cause close to all of us.

Michelle Pedersen and Mike Stachel have generously committed $10,000 to match every donation received, between now and December 31st, to our beloved woodlands. Your gift, of any size, will ensure that we reach our $20,000 go...al! Donations to this campaign will support the preservation and revitalization of the Fonthill Woodlands.

We are celebrating Hanukkah this year by recognizing traditions. In this pastel piece from 1920, a woman uses a turnstile to make homemade candles. What better way to display your menorah than with candles you made yourself. What are your favorite family traditions during the holidays? #HappyHanukkah #CandleMaking #MercerMuseum #FonthillCastle #Doylestown #BucksCounty ... #MercerMuseum #History #Castle #ExploreinBucksCo #VisitPa #SmithsonianAffiliate #Discoverdoylestown #VisitBucksCounty #HolidaysinBucksCo #HappyHolidays See more

Stories of transformation inspire us like nothing else, and few characters in literature are as iconic as Charles Dickens' Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. Gerald Dickens, the great-great grandson of Charles Dickens, has been mesmerizing audiences for over 20 years with his live performances of this classic holiday tale. This season, share this story of redemption and the Christmas spirit by gifting a virtual screening of Dickens in this one-man show and be amazed at how this gr...eat performer takes on all 26 characters in this classic tale. By renting this video stream to enjoy at home from now through December 31, 2020 for 7 full days, you will support The Friends of the Bucks County Historical Society in partnership with Byers' Choice LTD. For every $20 rental streamed through https://byerschoiceltd.vhx.tv/, $10 goes to the Friends of the Bucks County Historical Society and supports year-round educational, community and conservation programs at the Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle. Don't be like Scrooge...
