Margaret R. Grundy Museum
610 Radcliffe Street
Bristol, PA 19007
Joseph R. Grundy (1863 - 1961) was a businessman (textiles, banking, newspapers, and real estate) active in the civic affairs of Bucks County and Pennsylvania who eventually served in the United States Senate, but his heart always remained true to the Bristol Borough community in which he lived. Upon the Senator's death in 1961, his Last Will & Testament established the Grundy Foundation, which carried on his tradition of giving back to his community by directing that the family home, situated along the banks of the Delaware River in Bristol Borough, become a museum of local history.
