LANDMARK STATUS SOUGHT FOR RIPLEY BUCKS COUNTY HOME
Original Ripley home, Tinicum Twp., Bucks County, PA
PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP RIPLEY
SITE AS THEME PARK
If the old Stuart Cummings Ripley home receives landscape status, developers have proposed turning the property into a multi-acre theme park. It would include a Ripley museum, library, 200-room hotel, several restaurants, carnival rides, zoo, a Home Depot and a Target store. It would be the first major development in the history of rural Tinicum Townshop, Bucks County, PA. One resident is quoted as saying, "Tinicum hasn't had so much attention since Mr. Ripley lived here, whoever he was."
