It’s time once again for Bolton Mansion’s Fall Festival.

The festival at the historic Levittown mansion that dates back to 1687 will take place Saturday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Organizers said the Fall Festival will include food, live music, games, a hearth cooking demonstration, a revolutionary war encampment, tours, vendors and more.

The mansion, which is one of the most historically-significant buildings in Bucks County, was once used to house the area’s founders and even was used once as the Bristol Township police station. William Penn’s close associate Phineas Pemberton bought the home after he acquired a large tract of land in what is now Levittown.

The annual Fall Festival is put on by the Friends of Bolton Mansion, a volunteer organization that works to preserve the property.
