Tyler State Park | Newtown, PA

This annual event is designed as a self-guided walking tour of the historic properties and farmhouses scattered throughout the Tyler State Park grounds in Newtown, PA. The self-guided tour will begin at 10:00 am at the Tyler State Park Boathouse Pavilion on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
As part of this ticketed event, representatives from both the Newtown Historic Association and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will be on hand to provide a general overview and answer questions at the beginning of the day.
All registrants will receive an informative Tyler Park historical book. This limited-edition, 100-page book contains rare photographs and detailed descriptions of the many historic properties and farmhouses, including the construction of the Tyler mansion, and how they were acquired by the Tyler family in the early 1900s.
Once registrants receive their tour book and orientation, they will be free to tour the park on their own. Since there are so many interesting and historic sites scattered throughout the park, it is likely that it will take you more than one day to visit all the sites.
Note that children under 12 are free for this event.
Tickets can be purchased at https://www.newtownhistoric.org/visit/walking-tours/tyler-park/. For more information, please call us at (215) 968-4004.
Participants are invited to join a ranger-led bike tour immediately following the introduction. E-bikes are welcome as the park is very hilly.
