Centre Square
Location #16
As you head along North Third Street toward Centre Square, you begin to get the sense that Benjamin Franklin or Abraham Lincoln may have walked the same path.
Intersection of Northampton and Third Sts
About Centre Square
The 75-foot tall Soldiers and Sailors Monument (from 1900) towers in front of you, or perhaps, you see the “Tallest Peace Candle” in the world, first erected in 1951. Centre Square was home to the Easton Farmers’ Market, the oldest continuous open-air farmer’s market in the country, for more than 250 years. Also at Centre Square you will find the Crayola Factory.
Special thanks to Richard F. Hope, historian, who contributed a wealth of information for this walking tour.
