1. Cock 'n Bull Restaurant Marker
The original building of the Cock 'n Bull Restaurant-in an area of Bucks County then called "Hentown"-was quite dilapidated. However, Earl Jamison saw its potential, and within a few years, the Cock 'n Bull was born. Since 1962, the restaurant has been offering hearty favorites and still serves a few of the original menu items, including the chicken pot pye. The Cock 'n Bull is known for its charming colonial atmosphere, with hanging artifacts and artwork. A second level was added to accommodate 200 more guests as well as weddings and banquets. The current lobby area was once the Red Fox Lounge, a 1960s-style cocktail lounge, where visitors and patrons could puff on a cigar and order the Cock 'n Bull's signature drink, the Apricot Rooster.
