On the Road Between New Hope and Washington Crossing you will
come upon a hill and a tower of stone to the left that is located in a deep
nature preserve dedicated to wild flowers. Bowman's Hill at 380 feet
above sea level is topped by a 125 foot high stone tower built in 1933 to
honor the Colonial soldiers who used the hill as an observation post.
From the hill the Colonial soldiers could watch for the movement of British
troops during the preparation for Washington's crossing of the
Delaware.
