Within the Pennsylvania side of Washington Crossing State Park is a memorial/cemetery for Revolutionary soldiers who died the night Washington crossed the Delaware to own some drunken Hessians. The field is surrounded on 3 sides by a small stone wall, which resembles a fort. Two large pillars stand...
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...

Not too far from the Hermitage (a very old and historic house in northern NJ) is what appears to be a tunnel built into the side of a hill, which is supposed to go right to the Hermitage. Its purpose, according to who you talk to, ranged from...
