Bucks250PA has officially launched the Revolutionary War Trail Map of Bucks County, just in time for America's 250th anniversary celebration this summer.
The printed map, designed by the Bucks County Herald, includes a QR code linking to an expanded digital experience. A limited run of print maps will be distributed to select historical sites through July. The map showcases Bucks County's role in the American Revolution, with digital versions available for Heritage, Abolitionist, and Lenape Trails.
Interactive digital versions, hosted by the Bucks County Planning Commission, are accessible on smartphones, tablets, and desktops and offer additional content and trail navigation.
Funding for the map project came from an America250PA Semiquincentennial Grant, with additional support from Bucks250PA supporters.
According to a Patch of Doylestown report, the map was developed by the Bucks250PA Legacy Committee in partnership with the Bucks County Herald and Bucks County Planning Commission.
The Legacy Committee, made up of Bucks250PA commission members Teresa Androutsos, Jennifer Martin, and Shirley Lee Corsey, directed the project. They worked with historical sites across the county to gather information for the map.
“We're proud to share the Revolutionary War Trail with the community,” said Teresa Androutsos, Bucks250PA Vice Chair and a member of the Bucks County Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, in a statement shared with the Patch. “We created these trails to highlight Bucks County's rich and diverse history, and hope they serve as a lasting educational resource for our residents and visitors for generations to come.”
