Centerville, where Durham Road and York Road cross

Back at the crossroads, follow York Road southwest. It crosses Swamp Road at Furlong and runs down to Bridge Valley. Near Furlong, Forest Grove Road branches off and heads east past Forest Grove to Wycombe. In the top left, the thickest cluster of red sits around Landisville and Cross Keys. Many roads are labeled, and each red shape is a building, so zoom in on the preview and look for yours.
That crossing is old. The 1876 county history called Buckingham the largest township in Bucks County. It said the Durham and York roads were two of the main highways in the county. They ran the whole length and width of Buckingham and met at Centreville, as it was spelled then. A state historical marker at York Road and Durham Road tells more. It marks Bogart's Tavern, first licensed in 1763. In 1775 and 1776, the tavern was the headquarters of the Committee of Observation and Inspection. That group organized the Revolution in Bucks County. The county's first military companies of the war gathered there in 1775. In 1776 it was General Nathanael Greene's headquarters. The tavern isn't labeled on the map, but you can put your finger on the corner the marker names.
The same history tells a good one about a Buckingham man named Paul Preston. He was a county surveyor, a tax collector and a German translator for the courts. He stood six feet six and three-quarter inches tall. He was also a friend of Benjamin Franklin. Once a friend of Franklin's was going to court in Newtown and asked for a letter to Preston. Franklin said no. He said the man would be easy to spot. He'd be the tallest, the homeliest-looking and the most sensible man in Newtown.
