After making several trips to Europe and absorbing all the ambience of the little villages in the regions they traveled, Carol and Ed Stoudt decided to bring that ambience right here to Adamstown, PA

In previous years, they had purchased a 62-acre farm in Adamstown on which Ed built a microbrewery, a fine-dining restaurant, a beer garden and a huge complex under roof where antique dealers could share and sell their pieces of eras-gone-by. That complex is still thriving today as Stoudt's Brewery, The Black Angus Restaurant & Pub and Black Angus Antique Mall.

Ed and Carol set aside 27 of the 62 acres and dedicated them to the development of an old-fashioned European Village; a self-contained hamlet with shops on the ground floor and living quarters above. Their idea was to have many travelers come, visit and enjoy the ambience of this quaint hamlet, and the residents could live and shop for their needs without leaving the Village.

In 1992, a clock tower was erected and, although it stands across what is now Stoudtburg Road, it was the structure that started the concept rolling. In the fall of 1993, the towers were erected, creating a grand entrance into the Village. Also in that timeframe, a fountain was erected in the plaza, adding more European atmosphere to the Village. Today, Peaches, our fountain nymph, sits atop her perch spewing water into the fountain below and welcoming all who come.

Presently there are 30 units (not including seven now under construction) with another 100 planned in Phase II. All construction is planned to be completed by 2010. Most of these buildings will be "shop-capable," but it is not necessary to have a shop.

All our shops are unique and the shopkeepers are willing to take the time to share their Stoudtburg Village experience. You may browse all of our shops by clicking on the dropdown menu above. Come visit us soon...it is an experience you will not forget!
