Lafayette College

Founded in 1752 at the forks of the Delaware and Lehigh rivers, Easton is one of Pennsylvania’s oldest and most historic towns. Easton was one of only three cities where the Declaration of Independence was publicly read after its adoption. The town’s strategic position also made it a player in other historic events, such as the legendary Walking Purchase, the French and Indian War, and the Revolutionary War.

But make no mistake; there is far more to do here than walk through the pages and places of history. Easton’s many charms include its stunning architecture; the surrounding natural beauty of mountains, rivers, and valleys; cultural offerings from a vibrant arts scene; and an abundance of retail, dining, and entertainment opportunities for both you and your visitors. It also boasts the longest continuous running open-air farmers’ market in the country.
