Historic Rittenhouse Town is open to the public from dawn to dusk.

Check out our historic buildings and cross the bridge over Paper Mill Run to see the original Homestead and Bake House. Sit by the flowing waters as the evening winds down. Spend a morning or afternoon hiking the trails nearby, and grab an expresso based drink or fresh baked good from the PaperTrail Cafe.
