The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors announced that Equus Capital Partners has donated the Square Tavern to the township. The property includes the historic building, surrounding yard, parking lot and Goshen Trail trailhead. The property at Goshen Road and North Newtown Street Road (Route 252) dates to 1742 and has been preserved through several renovations by its various owners, including ARCO Chemical and Equus. In addition to the transfer of property, Equus will donate $25,000 for future maintenance. The parking lot has been an integral access point to the township’s trail system. The transfer of the property to the township will ensure that the property and access to Newtown’s most popular trail will be preserved in perpetuity.
