Skippack is a charming census-designated place in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Home to over 3,700 residents, this splendid community is composed of 2.6 square miles and boasts a long, rich history. Skippack was founded by German immigrants and was originally spelled “Schippach,” named for a town of the same name in the Bayern region of Germany, near Frankfurt. Then the village contained a post office, firehouse, shirt factory, furniture maker, blacksmith, liquor store, hat store, printing house, and several inns. Because of its long history, the community is home to numerous places of historic interest. For example, one of the oldest homes still standing in Skippack is the Indenhofen Farmstead, which was built around 1720. In 1973 Indenhofen Farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as was the Warren Z. Cole House, which also in Skippack.
As you might imagine in a place with such a history and multiple places on the historic registry, tourism is the primary industry of Skippack. The streets of Skippack are crowded each day with both local residents and tourists visiting the many antique shops, art galleries, and great eateries that line the main streets of town. Additionally, the community hosts numerous year-round events and free concerts.

Theatrical productions are also held year-round, thanks to the community's own troupe, the “Playcrafters of Skippack.” With all of these remarkable features and amenities, it is no wonder Skippack is a popular destination among homebuyers.
