Newtown Hotels

Trek the winding trails encircling the town, discover the delights of the Tyler State Park through every glorious season, or shop the old fashioned way, along quaint main streets with friendly store owners, and cafés that spill their seating onto the sidewalk – Newton in Pennsylvania is laid back, relaxed and a welcoming small town destination, with plenty to offer its visitors. It’s filled with historical delights, including the Newtown Theatre, officially the oldest movie theatre in America, which plays modern movies today, and the yellowing clapboard exterior of the preserved Turnpike Toll House, well over 150 years old.

The vast and verdant landscape of the Tyler State Park delights visitors who find their way here to enjoy a variety of activities, from a casual stroll along its winding pathways, to fishing and boating on its tranquil freshwater lakes. With over 9 miles of bridleways, you can discover the lush Pennsylvania environment on horseback, and try your hand at the unusual sport of Disc Golfing over its undulating 18 hole course. Whether you’re here in summertime, picnicking on the grassy slopes, or bracing yourself against the bitter wind around an ice fishing hole in winter, every season has something to delight. In the heart of the town, quiet leafy streets lined with wooden colonial-era houses, or red brick family homes with expansive front yards, give way to modern shopping venues with low rise street-front stores selling local goods. And down on State Street, shingle-roofed shops adorned with American flags sell everything from bric-a-brac and antiques, to mom’s home baking and pizza pie.
