Peddler's Village began in the early 1960s, when the late Earl Jamison bought a 6-acre chicken farm, moved local 18th-century houses to the site, and opened a collection of specialty shops and restaurants. The 70 shops in the village peddle books, toys, clothing, jewelry, candles, cookware and housewares, crafts and other items. The Grand Carousel, a restored 1922 merry-go-round, still works, and Giggleberry Fair offers a bonanza of games for its loud little visitors. Crowd-drawing seasonal events include May's Strawberry Festival and September's Scarecrow Festival.
For chocolate, including yummy truffles, turtles, and chocolate-covered pretzels, head a little outside the main business district to the delectable Pierre's Chocolates.
This shop, quirky in comparison to others in New Hope, sells spicy sauces, snacks, and "hot" chocolate year-round. Among its hottest of the hot peppers are ghost peppers and scorpion peppers.
You can find art glass and jewelry at Topeo. A sister store, Topeo South, located at 15 North Main Street, offers art pottery, garden art, and Judaica as well.
