In 1995, the Doylestown Historical Society was begun as a committee of the Doylestown Revitalization Board in order to focus on historic preservation. The purpose of the program was to compete with shopping centers and malls that were threatening to put historic downtown districts out of business. The older (historic) part of town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Doylestown was featured in a recent National Geographic Publication in their “Guide to Small Town Escapes.” And even more recently, in 2001 the National Trust for Historic Preservation listed the town as one of its “Dozen Distintive Destinations.” The trust stated that Doylestown is a place “where its commitment to the arts is exceeded only by its engrained preservation ethic.”
