Solebury Township is located in one of the most picturesque areas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It lies about an hour north of Philadephia and about 1.5 hours west of New York City. To visit this place, is like taking a trip back in time. James Michener grew up in such a place and you are cordially invited to visit his world.
But who is James Michener? Please read on!
James (Jim) Michener's web site: http://www.mekongexpress.com/laos/villadara/index.htm
Jim was featured in an article about expatriates in the March 2007 Swarthmore College Bulletin.
Thanks again for stopping in!

In his youth Jim played the violin accompanied by Maude Funk on the piano. This would usually occur after meeting for worship, more commonly called "silent meeting."
Jim was kind enough to arrange for me and a friend to attend silent meeting here. For me, it was just "different" to sit in silence for an hour and I enjoyed it very much. Afterwards one of the members requested that we sing a hymn. Naive as I am, I asked if they needed someone to play the piano. And even though their regular pianist was in attendance, they invited me to play "Morning Has Broken." I was positively delighted to have been able to play on "Maude's Piano"!
On the lower right you can see the brick area where the second stove used to sit.
