About Freemansburg

Tucked along the scenic Lehigh River just east of Bethlehem, Freemansburg is a quiet borough with around 3,000 residents. Originally established in the 1700s as a bustling canal and milling hub, the town still carries its historic roots in spots like the old stone Bachman tavern. Today, it offers a peaceful, close-knit neighborhood atmosphere where quiet streets and riverfront scenery make it easy to settle into daily life.
