Washington Crossing - Memorial Building and Visitor Center

The building was a Taylorsville tenant home built c.1828-1830 by the Taylor family. Colonial spinning and weaving demonstrations can be seen here.

The 110-foot tower offers a 14-mile view of the Delaware River Valley and of Washington Crossing to the south.

The Durham Boat House contains the Durham boat replicas. The original boats were used to haul iron ore up and down the Delaware River that George Washington and his men used for the historic crossing in 1776. Today, these Durham boat replicas are used in the annual re-enactment held on Christmas Day.

Hibb's House is a restored and furnished nineteenth-century home built c.1830 as part of the village of Taylorsville. It was once leased out as a tenant house for craftsmen, advertised as a wheelwright's house and was used as a shop. Today, open hearth cooking and colonial living demonstrations can be seen.

This is a completely restored home built c.1816, by one of the founders of Taylorsville and contains period furnishings which reflect Mahlon Taylor's successful lifestyle. A guided tour is given of the first floor.

McKonkey's Ferry Inn was an eighteenth-century inn and tavern constructed on the property of Samuel McConkey and operated by James Brown. The inn was a guard post during the Continental Army's encampment in Bucks County in December, 1776. This is where Washington and his aides ate their Christmas dinner prior to the historic crossing.

The graves are just east of the Thompson-Neely House. Here lie America's first unknown soldiers and Captain James Moore, who died on December 25, 1776 at the Thompson-Neely House.

This store was owned and operated by Mahlon K. Taylor beginning around 1828. It was also the Post Office for Taylorsville (now known as Washington Crossing), with Mahlon Taylor serving as Postmaster for almost 40 years.

This is a restored, operating water-powered mill built in the 1830s by William Neely. The original mill, constructed nearly a century earlier, was located approximately 100 yards downstream.

This house is an example of early eighteenth-century colonial architecture. In 1776, the home of Robert and Hannah Thompson on Pidcock Creek became the headquarters of General Lord Stirling (William Alexander), who commanded the troops stationed along the Delaware to prevent a British crossing. General Stirling and his staff spent nearly the entire month of December here. Nearby stand the Thompson-Neely Barn and various outbuildings.
