Pickering Manor’s rehab center in Newtown is now part of the mule public art project that decorated the Delaware and Lehigh canals in 2002, writes For the Advance of Bucks County for The Reporter.  

Back in 2002, four organizations collaborated to create four prototype mules that proliferated into over 170 statues created by local artists, non-profits, and schools. The project was named ‘Miles of Mules.’  

The artistic installations were an homage to the reliance on mules as a mode of transportation along the canal system from the 1800’s through the 1900’s.  

Forty-five of the mules were auctioned off to the public. Marshall Law went to a seven-year-old girl named Sierra Smith, who was dedicated to finding and documenting all the mules in the region. 

 Now, 20 years later, Marshall Law is moving from the Stuckert and Yates law firm to the Yates Pavillion at Pickering Manor.  

“We are moved by this thoughtful donation to Pickering by the Durr-Smith family who has a deep connection to Pickering and Newtown,” said the manor’s CEO David Woodhead.
