Tour the Homes of Two Iconic Bucks County Legends: Pearl S. Buck and Oscar Hammerstein II

Learn about the lives and legacies of two of Bucks County’s most prominent and influential artists and humanitarians as you tour the former homes of Pearl S. Buck and Oscar Hammerstein II. Guests of this one-day double feature will have the option of beginning at either the Pearl S. Buck House or the Oscar Hammerstein House in the morning with a visit to the other in the afternoon.

Pearl S. Buck House, Hilltown

Pearl S. Buck was a Pulitzer and Nobel Award-winning author, a humanitarian, and an activist. On our Life & Legacy Tour, a traditional biographic tour of her home, now a National Historic Landmark museum, visitors will learn about the life and legacy of this remarkable woman.

A rich, mostly intact collection makes guests feel as if they are visiting the house in the time Ms. Buck and her family lived there. Objects from the ordinary (a closet full of board games played by the family) to the extraordinary (the typewriter Ms. Buck used to write The Good Earth) add to the fascinating experience. Other interesting items include rare artwork from around the world, period furnishings, personal clothing, and a library stocked with hundreds of books (including those by her favorite author, Charles Dickens).

Oscar Hammerstein House, Doylestown

Tour Highland Farm, Oscar Hammerstein’s home and creative epicenter. This tour includes riveting stories about Hammerstein’s musical family, how his groundbreaking musicals forever changed modern-day book-musical, and additional insight into his contributions to society through his many humanitarian acts, such as Pearl S. Buck’s Welcome House. 

Tour Option One

11 am Pearl S. Buck House

2:30 pm Oscar Hammerstein House

Tour Option Two

11 AM Oscar Hammerstein House

2:30 pm Pearl S. Buck House

Moravian Pottery and Tile Works

Just 4 miles away from Stone House Antiques Center in Doylestown, PA, you will find The Moravian Pottery & Tile Works history museum. It’s owned by the County of Bucks and operated by TileWorks of Bucks County. The museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

 

Handmade tiles are still produced in a manner similar to that developed by the pottery’s founder and builder, Henry Chapman Mercer. Tile designs are reissues of original designs. Mercer was a major proponent of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. He directed the work at the pottery from 1898 until his death in 1930.

Mercer generally did not affix a potters mark to tiles made while he directed the work at MPTW. Following his death, there were several marks used to indicate that a tile had originated at MPTW.

When the Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation took over the MPTW as a working museum, all tiles made by the museum were impressed on the obverse with a stylized “MOR,” the words “Bucks County,” and the year of manufacture (see illustration).

 

The reproduction tiles made today are made using Mercer’s original molds, clay that is obtained locally and has properties similar to those of Mercer’s original source, slips and glazes that follow Mercer’s final formulations. However, some have been modified to reduce the lead and heavy metal content to less toxic levels.

The Tile Works is one of three cast-in-place concrete structures built by Mercer. The others include Fonthill, which is located on the same property and served as his home, and the Mercer Museum, located approximately one mile away.

The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works offers workshops and an apprenticeship program to teach the art of handcrafting ceramic tiles and mosaics.
