Autumn in Bucks County is MCC's First Day Trip of the Season 10/21

American writer Pearl S. Buck, whose novel The Good Earth won both the Pulitzer Prize (1932) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1938) was an inspiration to many. The McLean Community Center (MCC) is offering a day trip to The Pearl S. Buck House and New Hope, Pennsylvania on Thursday, Oct. 21. The price of the trip is $145 per person, $135 for McLean tax district residents, which includes deluxe motor coach transportation, admission to Pearl S. Buck House and Parry Mansion, lunch, morning snack and a driver's tip. Participants are asked to arrive at MCC by 6:45 a.m. for the 7 a.m. bus departure.

Learn about an incredible woman in American history and sample the beauty of Bucks County in autumn. Trip participants will tour the Pearl S. Buck House, a National Historic Landmark in Bucks County, which tells Buck's amazing life story. A special exhibit entitled "PersonAl Pearl" will be on display during the tour.
