The Historic Carversville Society
Carversville sits at the confluence of the branches of the Paunacussing Creek in Solebury Township, PA.
The village is a nationally-designated historic zone.
The Historic Carversville Society, a volunteer-based non-profit group, is dedicated to the future -- and past -- of this community jewel.
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania's Hidden Collections Initiative included us in their archival Pennsylvania Small Archival Repositories. Click here for their finds, it's fascinating!
History
Carversville is a prime example of a 19th Century farming community and this earned it National Register of Historic Places status from the Department of Interior in 1979. Officially, the Village became "historic". Carversville was one of the first districts to be so honored and it is now under the protection of federal, state and local laws that regulate changes made to any building which may destroy its historic value.

The Doans
By 1696 the first of the Doans had moved into Bucks County from Sandwich, Massachusetts and prior to 1726 Israel Doan, the grandfather of the infamous Doan Boys, was squatting on Indian land in Plumstead. At the time this area was deeply forested with great distances between cleared farms. Settlers found the Indians who frequented the area friendly for the most part and there was an abundance of deer and bear to hunt. Bread was made from the Indian corn and when grain was carried to market it was done on long caravans of horses tied head to tail which snaked through the trees on the Indian paths that crisscrossed the area. Men dressed in deerskins and women wore linsey and linen. Every month they would attend the Friends Meeting with the men carrying their weapons because of the strong likelihood of encountering a wolf or bear along the way. More....

"Quite possibly the most wonderful place in the world in what might be the most beautiful town in the world.
I am in love with this place, the people who work here and most especially the food they have to offer. The Chef/General Manager likes to boast that they have the best breakfast sandwich in bucks county as well as the best cheesesteak but he is way off because they are both the best this side of the Mississippi. Incredible Reuben with corned beef that is brined and braised in house!!!! Also they have unbelievable prepared foods case with very eclectic options for all types of tastes. Really, words can't describe this place accurately so you just have to go here and enjoy the blissful surroundings and indulge." Kevin M., from Brooklyn NY
'Great atmosphere, great food, and a great staff. I personally recommend the amazing cheesesteaks accompanied by bouquet like thin, crispy, and delicious fries. The tomato soup was one of the best I ever had, and the scenic outside seating makes this establishment the perfect place to grab lunch. I also noticed the lovely flowers in front of the store, someone must have put a lot of effort into those. I sat outside of the store with two of my best friends enjoying the view and digesting my cheesesteak while thinking "man, this is bliss".' Mike Y., New York NY
