Busy Small Town Living

Welcome to Skippack, a small town that is full of great shops small eateries  of course plenty of town house communities tucked in amongst the vast farm land. As a member of the Skippack Townhome Owning Club, I wanted to share with you some of the best parts of living in a tiny space within a 5 minute walk to "down town"

Just a quick stroll down the tree lined drive you will find a wooded path that leads right into the heart of Skippack! The path known only to people from the area is the "Drunk Path" lol. Once you've gotten down the path you will be at my personal favorite 3 season bar The Tiki Bar! 

With a heated outdoor seating area enjoy great cocktails with friends or coworkers!

Welcome to Skippack and Perkiomen Valely Area

History of Skippack

 



Originally spelled “Schippach” by early German settlers after a town in the Bayern region of Germany, Skippack can trace its rich history to the early 1700s. With Philadelphia and Germantown rising in population, settlers sought more rural areas by traveling up the Schuylkill River and up the Perkiomen and Skippack creeks. They settled in what is today known as Skippack, and the quaint town began to grow.

                Skippack is home to many buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Warren Z. Cole house which is one of the oldest homes in the region. Built around 1720, the Warren Z. Cole house has recently been renovated by the Skippack Historical Society and is now open to the public.

                 Today, Skippack is loved for its unique shops, antique stores, charming restaurants and plenty of events. There’s never a shortage of things to do—in fact, the primary industry of the Skippack Village is tourism, with people living near and far heading to the Village for a weekend stroll or an evening meal. We’ll be sure to keep you posted about the fun and exciting events occurring around town!

Perkiomen Valley Area

 

Perkiomenville

Bucolic. Recreational. Peaceful.

 

Nestled in Northern Montgomery County, Perkiomenville is located at the foot of the beautiful Green Lane Park and straddles the Perkiomen Creek in both Marlborough and Upper Frederick Townships.

A Brief History

The founding of Perkiomenville is controversial, but most historians suspect that a farmer named James Ferguson Seeds became the first landowner in 1727 when he tended the land inhabited by the Perkiomen Indians. Legend has it that Seeds enjoyed a peaceful relationship with the natives, and his grandson, Jacob, even married a native Perkiomen Indian.  Upon James Seeds’ death, he dubbed the area “Perkiomenville”.

 Perkiomenville Today

Perkiomenville today is well-known for the Perkiomenville Auction and Flea Market, which regularly draws more than 200 booths and 2,000 customers to their early Monday morning affairs. With an outdoor produce market, antiques, and livestock sales, the Perkiomenville Auction is well-loved by the locals.

Located near Green Lane Park, Perkiomenville offers plenty of recreational activities including trails for runners, bikers, horses, and boating, fishing, and live wildlife displays.

Homes in the Perkiomenville area tend to be relatively affordable, with many single family homes less than $300,000 sitting on large pieces of land. A variety of well-kept twin and townhomes are also available for under $175,000.
