Community Labyrinth to be Dedicated Friday

In the works for two years, the project will open to the public tonight, as long as the weather cooperates.

  As dusk falls over Doylestown tonight, Native American blessings and the cutting of a ribbon will officially welcome a new spiritual experience into the borough. At 7:30 p.m., the public is invited to gather on the corner of Pine and East Ashland streets to help dedicate the new Community Labyrinth at the Michener Museum.

Labyrinth Volunteers Work Before the Rain Hits

Saturday was a beautiful day to do some community yard work.

It is expected to be finished next month.

Volunteers to Install Labyrinth Saturday

The newest attraction on Pine Street will be open for the community to enjoy.

If you've passed near the intersection of Pine and Ashland recently, you might have seen stacks of stones and lines painted on the earth. On Saturday, volunteers will meet on that corner to install those stones into the traditional winding pattern of a labyrinth. The Community Labyrinth is being created next to the Michener Museum on land owned by the museum. But it was funded by private donations and has been designed and will be maintained by volunteers.
