The Newtown Heritage Walk is a self-guided walking tour consisting of
thirty-four 18” x 24” wayside markers at historically significant sites along
State Street (Newtown Borough) and Sycamore Street (Newtown Township). Each
stop has been selected because of its historical value to the Newtown
community, featuring sites from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The
Heritage Walk is modeled after similar wayside programs in Gettysburg,
Harrisburg, Carlisle, the Delaware Canal, and other historic locations in
Pennsylvania. (Excerpt from Newtown Historic Association Website:
