In support of the exhibit, is a newly researched tour of the Historic Shaw District and the Agricultural Works.

“We’re pleased to partner with the Doylestown Historical Society on this exhibit, which celebrates both Doylestown’s history and the history of DelVal,” said DelVal Interim President Dr. Benjamin E. Rusiloski. “We’re fortunate at DelVal to be a part of the surrounding Bucks County community and, to be able to partner with cultural organizations like the Doylestown Historical Society.”

Staff from the University library teamed up with the Doylestown Historical Society to help create the exhibit. Library staff played a key role in the process by going through the University’s archives and pulling interesting information and items to share with the community.
