The 2nd Annual Faces and Places will move north this year to explore the abundance of art and history found along the Delaware Canal in Tinicum Township. We'll depart from the Tinicum Barn, a Bucks County treasure in its own right, and travel to the three featured stops on the narrated trolley tour.

• In Erwinna, a bustling town during canal days, Dorsey Reading will open his studio, which contains his works in progress as well as his incomparable collection of Paul Evans and Phillip Lloyd Powell furniture, sculpture, and accessories. We'll also meet the famous writer and wit, Dorothy Parker, in spirit.

• Uhlerston is the "best preserved Canal hamlet in America." A walk through the village is a walk back to the time when hundreds of mule-drawn boats passed through the town's lock. It was also home to Frederick Harer, the artist and frame maker who created custom, hand-carved frames for the most famous of the Bucks County artists.

• Steven Snyder's Cedar Maze is an amazing world of its own. His sculpture garden and studio reflect his creativity, skill, and respect for native stone. It has been featured in Country Living magazine and HGTV's Our Place.

When the tour concludes, we'll return to the Tinicum Barn for a gala celebration with cocktails, dinner-worthy hors d-oeuvres, live music, Strokes of Luck, and merriment.

Trolleys will leave the Tinicum Barn parking lot at 2 p.m.
Boarding begins at 1:30.
