| This is the Delaware River where George Washington crossed to New Jersey for The Battle of Trenton in 1776. It was Christmas Eve and the Delaware River was frozen at that time.  |

Bucks County is one of the most beautiful areas on the East coast. It's also a historic area.
The town of Washington Crossing, Pa. is where George Washington crossed the Delaware River to go into the town of Trenton to fight the Hessians. It was one of the important battles that helped the colonies win their independence from Britain during the War of Independence.
Today was a beautiful day. We had lunch at the Washington Crossing Inn located on the bank of the Delaware River
After lunch, we walked around and I took some photos. .

DeleteI'd love to visit this area with so much beauty and history. Thanks for the little tour.
ReplyDeleteCarol,
DeleteIt is a beautiful area as is the area that you live in Florida. So nice we can all share
I'd forgotten about this place - have visited it as a child. A beautiful setting as I recall. Thanks for the refresher course! And thanks for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2017/10/blacksmiths-at-work.html
ReplyDeleteSue,
DeleteIt is a beautiful area especially in the fall when it's cool and colorful.

ReplyDeleteNancy,
DeleteSo glad that you enjoyed the shots of my area and thanks for stopping by and commenting
I love that area! It's beautiful and full of such history.
ReplyDeleteBeth,
DeleteThat is true that we are so full of history. At Christmas time, they re enact the crossing of the Delaware in full costume... lot's of fun with hot chocolate - ( if it ever becomes cool here - our fall has been in the 80's instead of the 50's )
Oh beautiful!! I love historic sites like that. We actually lived not too far south of there for a couple years, but that was one site I never had the chance to visit.
ReplyDeleteYes,
DeleteI think sometimes we forget about the things that are nearby and tend to plan trips
Wow, so cool. I would love to visit this park. It looks beautiful and so much history. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting and they give a tour George Washington's house and his food cellar which was like a huge pit in the ground..
ReplyDeleteThanks most sincerely for the lovely comment you left on ~ My little old world ~, I sincerely appreciate it !
ReplyDeleteYou also have such a beautiful blog, that's why I decided to follow you with much joy !
Sending blessings across the many miles
XOXO Daniela
Thank you so much for your kind words too. I am so glad to meet you and get to know each other's blogs. Have a wonderful week
DeleteThat would be a great place to visit, i've never had the pleasure yet. Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteIt is a small old town but worth the visit amidst the Washington Crossing state park!
DeleteA very interesting post; thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joana
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate your support
DeleteA nice bit of history, I love these types of tours. Pretty shot of the Delaware.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanna,
DeleteIt is a nice bit of history right here in my back yard! There is also the State Park
I love seeing different bits of history. My favorite is when I see it in person but on someone's blog is the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree- I love some vicarious living through other people's blogs when I haven't been there myself. Thanks for stopping by each week
DeleteJudee,
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining my not-so WW linky party this week. I'm sorry for the slow visit but you know how life goes sometimes, right? Anywho, I really loved this photo series! What a magnificent, historical spot to visit and photograph!! I'd love to see this place and to capture it. There's something magical and special about seeing places where great figures once walked. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend! ;)
Yes,
DeleteIt is only half hour from where I live and we take all of our guests there when they visit from out of town.
That would be such a quaint place to visit, especially now with fall in full swing.
