I recently read about a little-known battlefield along the Delaware. After learning some of the history and reading that ruins from the fort could be found in the park, I decided to visit. The name itself shows just how few people know of the place, at least on...
Another bridge oddity, although this one is more unique than the first we found. Located in Mauricetown, this bridge has been turned into somewhat of a park…..well, what’s left of it anyway. A lone picnic table is on the bridge. The other side of the bridge from the...
