Washington Crossing State Park in Mercer County, offers many educational opportunities in a unique setting. Several miles of trails weave their way through the park's fields, evergreen plantations and mixed hardwood forests. While the Interpretive Center focuses on the park's natural environment through exhibits, programs and assorted literature, the Visitor Center and Johnson Ferry House feature exhibits, programs and artifacts that highlight the struggles and lives of men and women during the late 18th century, including the American Revolution. These facilities are open year-round, Wednesdays through Sundays. The Interpretive Center is open from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday and from 12:00 noon - 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.
