Surprise!
Watch our publisher, Ann Meredith, show New Hope artist Chuck Fischer see our Fall Issue for the very first time — with him on the cover. He had no idea that Laura Billingham’s fab photo of him was so great that we put it on the cover. And it’s priceless.

Have you met Chuck Fischer? He’s the New Hope artist—and true master of color—who graces our Fall cover. We love how River Towns photographer Laura Billingham captured his love of color, energy, and style. His work is amazing and you can learn all about it in our fabulous fall issue.

We also meet a local couple of singular sensations who are producing Tony-nominated plays, and visit Frenchtown’s Studio Route 29, where art and community are flourishing, together.

We take you on a fall-lovers hike along the Lockatong Creek, and introduce the last of the local grain millers, a local master of vintage typewriters, broccolini, and wild turkeys!

Welcome to our Sensational SIXTH Spring Issue of River Towns!

You’ll discover countless ways to enjoy the best of the River Towns this spring season, from events you’ll find nowhere in the world but here, like ArtYard’s Hatch Festival in Frenchtown and Lambertville’s Shad Fest blowout, to Phillips’ Mill’s much-anticipated annual Photographic Exhibition and PrideFest, one of the best Pride celebrations in the U.S.A. 🏳️‍🌈

You’ll meet extraordinarily talented River Towners, like master woodturner Mark Sfirri, and Liz Patrick, gracing our cover with her daughter, Ellen. Together they turned their ordinary farmhouse in Pipersville into a breathtaking homage to ancient stone and modern elegance. And Donna Schaal whose life and farm are dedicated to rescuing horses.

With all the talk about celebrities moving in we decided it was time to take a deep dive into the changing face of New Hope. Is the soaring price of real estate, luxury development and national attention a good thing, a bad thing, or something in between? You may be surprised at what writer Bill Stieg heard from locals.

To love the River Towns life is to know it, and live it. Let’s do it, together!
