Penns Park is the oldest village in Wrightstown Township, Pennsylvania, United States. The village is located in the center of the township. The Zip Code is 18943.
This crossroads village was known as Logtown as early as 1716 and as Pennsville during the early nineteenth century. In 1862, the village name was changed to its current one.
Situated just outside of this village, at the intersection of Penns Park Road and Mud Road, a solitary log house still exists. It is reportedly the oldest house in Bucks County.
The community's old graveyard, where many of the township's first settlers were buried, is located to the southwest.
The Penns Park Historic District and Penn's Park General Store Complex are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
