WELCOME TO BLUE BELL
Blue Bell, PA is a quiet suburb located approximately 18 miles northwest of downtown Philadelphia and is steeped in history. Blue Bell was originally called Pigeontown, because passenger pigeons had a high propensity to call the area home at the time. In 1840, the town changed its name to Blue Bell after the town's main inn, which once hosted a visit from George Washington. The Blue Bell Inn has been completely restored and renovated and is still proudly serving guests. It’s a town favorite for those local and far.
