The Devil's Half-Acre, Pennsylvania

The Devil's Half-Acre is a parcel of land in Solebury Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

It is along the Pennsylvania Canal with an incredible view on the Delaware River where a summer community and water sports are particularly popular here.

The sole building that exists on The Devil's Half-Acre is a tavern that was built in 1800 when the Pennsylvania Canal was being dug.

Whiskey was sold without a license and the place became the scene of drunken revelry, and it thus obtained its name.

[1] In 1845 the place came into the possession of Stephen Durand, who was a different type from the former occupants, and still later was the home of a former member of the Legislature.
