Book Description
Strolling along the streets and avenues of Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and around the countryside near the Delaware River's scenic falls, one wanders into a variety of places that have witnessed many extraordinary events in America's life, beginning with William Penn's first land purchase from the Indian warriors at "Graystones" in 1682 and on to the many successful manufacturing companies in the 1930s and 1940s. This collection of over 200 photographs spans more than three hundred years of Morrisville's diverse history. In particular, this volume recounts many stories involving Summerseat, a structure that served as headquarters to General Washington in the winter of 1776 and as a home to American foreign consul Thomas Barclay and to Robert Morris (1791-98) and George Clymer (1798-1805), signers of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Besides just political figures, Morrisville has also been home to many contemporary personalities who have risen to national prominence in the sports arena and in the fine arts community.

Book Description
Morrisville is known as a small, sleepy town in central North Carolina. However, this town in the heart of the states most technological area has a long and colorful past. The Morrisville community traces its origin to its location on the states colonial east-west road and became a town, naming itself after resident Jeremiah Morris, with the arrival of the North Carolina Railroad in 1852. Its strategic stop along the railroad brought warring armies during the Civil War, and afterward, residents hoped the railroad would make Morrisville a prosperous town of the New South. Progress came slowly, and Morrisville became a farming community frozen in time for the next 100 years. With the rapid growth of the Research Triangle in the 1980s, Morrisville found itself enveloped by a quickly changing community. Located by the states largest airport and a major interstate, Morrisville became the new center for several technologically advanced research facilities and home to many new families enjoying the towns rural charm.
