Phoenixville
Phoenixville's historic district is the largest National Historic District site in Chester County. Centered on its downtown, it includes many buildings that have been restored to their original grandeur such as the Colonial Theatre, Pennsylvania Railroad Station, and historic tax credit projects on the Phoenix Steel Foundry and Steel Superintendent's Building. The Phoenixville Historical Society operates a museum covering local history and can guide visitors to the district's many attractions.
After taking in Phoenixville's history, many visitors make their way to its vibrant arts and entertainment district. Here they enjoy cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients; perhaps stop for a concert or movie at the Colonial Theatre or a performance at the Forge Theatre; or simply browse its eclectic mix of boutiques, specialty stores, and art galleries.
While there is always something to see in Phoenixville, two special events truly stand out. The Dogwood Festival happens every May and includes music, art, and more. The Firebird Festival is a true favorite. Held the second Saturday of December, it features live music and local artists. The evening comes to a close when fire engulfs a giant wooden Phoenix.
