PARKING INFORMATION

Shippen Manor has limited parking spots on site and those are reserved for (handicap) accessible vehicles. For some events, the back parking lot is available, but has a limited number of spaces. Everyone else is invited to park on Washington Avenue in town (past the Church, not at the bottom of the hill from the Manor) as well as limited spaces available in the municipal lot accessible from Wall Street to Allen Avenue (by “In the Nick of Time” Tailor Shop). Please do not block or park in residents’ driveways, and adhere to all town parking signs and ordinances and use caution while crossing the street to our site.

Note: for those blocking driveways or parking in locations not allowable, please be informed that you will be ticketed by the Washington Twp. Police. This includes the part of Washington Avenue by the stage.
