context_section_description: Doylestown Borough is home to three structures designed and built by Henry Chapman Mercer.  The Mercer Museum, a structure built in poured concrete, is the home to Mercer's collection of early American artifacts.  It also houses a collection known as "Tools of the Nation-Maker", one of the most important of its kind in the world. The Bucks County Historical Society also maintains the Spruance Library, a research library, adjoining the museum. Fonthill (also known as "Mercer's Castle") was Mercer's home and houses his collection of artifacts from around the world.  The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works is an operational facility utilizing the tools and techniques used by Pennsylvania German potters in the 18th and 19th centuries.
  The former prison, across the street from the Mercer Museum, has been converted into the James A. Michener Art Museum.  The borough also boasts a small music conservatory, writers' and artists' organizations, and other cultural activities.
  Doylestown is located near the Polish-American Roman Catholic shrine known as the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, which houses a painting of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, Poland.
  The Fountain House, a historic building, is located in Doylestown Borough.
