Riverton

Set along the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Trenton, this small American borough was established during the Victorian period by settlers with Quaker roots. Its tight-knit neighborhood spirit and historic heritage remain central to its identity.

Through photographs, the book traces the ambitions of the town's founders in rare views of its stately houses and the people whose lives matched their understated elegance. It also highlights longstanding local institutions, including the Riverton Yacht Club, the Porch Club of Riverton, and the Riverton Country Club. Many remain familiar landmarks, while lesser-known stories emerge from these visual records of the past.

The collection also captures early Fourth of July festivities and regatta races. It identifies where the Duster sailboat was first built and where the drive-in theater that transformed moviegoing began.
