Winter Events at the Pearl S. Buck Estate

Pearl S. Buck International is excited to host a range of new as well as returning activities and events this winter. All events and activities will take place on the grounds of the historic Pearl S. Buck Estate, 520 Dublin Road, Perkasie, PA 18944.

The Pearl S. Buck House National Historic Landmark Museum is proud to present a new art exhibit opening January 13. “Visions of East and West: Traditional Chinese Painting by Shutian Cao” will feature 50+ pieces of art by noted artist and art educator Shutian Cao, depicting scenes from both China and the Delaware Valley, two places that Pearl S. Buck loved and called home. Like Pearl Buck, Shutian Cao also calls China and Bucks County home, and draws on that for inspiration. From cityscapes of Shanghai, Philadelphia, and New York to the rural Chinese mountains and rolling fields and gardens of Lancaster and Bucks County to historic buildings and famous places throughout the Delaware Valley, visitors will get to enjoy these paintings and ink drawings on display throughout the Pearl S. Buck House. This exhibit will be open through April 13. Tickets to tour this exhibit are available now at https://pearlsbuck.org/visions/.

Family history is America’s story and so to kick off the 2026 celebration of America’s 250^th anniversary, Pearl S. Buck International will offer a beginner genealogy workshop in our Welcome Center on January 24 at 1 pm. Many of our community members have deep roots in Bucks County and the Delaware Valley region and this will be an opportunity to explore those roots surrounded by the history of the Pearl S. Buck House and Bucks County. This workshop is for people looking to start researching their family histories or who are still new to family history research. Under the guidance of professional genealogists and expert family historians, attendees will learn what free and paid resources are available online and in their communities, how to get started using them, and tips, tricks, and best practices to continue on their own. Reserve your spot today at https://pearlsbuck.org/genealogy/. A second workshop will be offered February 28 at 1 pm for people interested in learning how to apply for lineage society membership.

Pearl S. Buck International is also thrilled to once again host, in collaboration with the Central Bucks Chinese-American Association (CBCA) our annual family-friendly Lunar New Year Celebration on Saturday, February 21 from 11 am-3 pm. Enjoy kids’ activities, live music and dance performances, food vendors, tours of the Pearl S. Buck House Museum and more as we usher in the Year of the Horse!
