Located
on the Delaware River just eight miles north of
Trenton is Washington Crossing State Park. It
was here that the Continental Army under the command
of General George Washington landed after their
historic crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas
night 1776. The park contains over 1,399 acres
in Mercer County and is easily accessible. Within
the park, there is a Visitor Center/Museum which
has on display nearly 600 artifacts from the Revolutionary
War era. There is also an interprative program
and group tours and lectures are available by
reservation.
Other
main sites within the park include Johnson
Ferry House, Nelson House, Open Air Theatre,
and Natural Area and Interpretive Center.
Not only is this a place where visitors can
learn more about America's history, but also
a place where recreational activities such
as biking, fishing, hiking, horseback riding,
and picnicking can take place. The cultural,
historic, natural and recreational features
of this park provide a unique blend of activities
for the park visitor.
