Comments

Skippack Village is one of the quaintest shopping villages in Pennsylvania. There are over 80 shops and restaurants in the village including antique shops, specialty shops, and art galleries. Most of the shops are tucked into renovated 18th and 19th century buildings, homes and barns. Historically, the village was one of Gen. George Washington's encampments during the Revolutionary War just before the Battle of Germantown and his stay at Valley Forge.
