preparation for the crossing. Park guides conduct tours of the building that
served as an inn on the stagecoach line between New York and Philadelphia. It
also served as a post office, as a meetinghouse for the early settlers and as a
newsstand for Ben Franklin's Philadelphia newspaper,

Washington Crossing State Park provides lots of sightseeing when costumed
guides re-enact the daily life during colonial times. The tavern is the centerpiece
of a cluster of thirteen buildings constructed in the 18th and 19th century where a
ferry once transported cargo and passengers across the Delaware River.
The walking and biking trail runs between the antique buildings and makes for
good sightseeing and handicap access.
