I went to school here in the early 80s and we used to come here on the weekends for ice cream. Imagine my surprise when I came here last year and the entire place was bulldozed. I was pretty sad. But, appropriately enough, we had part of our 25th reunion at the replacement for the ice cream store, the Green Parrot, a really neat bar and restaurant.
The sign of history is on the grassy part of the sidewalk, street level, at the intersection of N. Sycamore St. and Silo Dr. Below, is an image of the text from this sign of history. The sign is sponsored by the Goodnoe Family
About the Sign Program
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.
