Shops and the Revolution
(For those who do not attend the General Board Meeting)
A visit to Lambertville – a one square mile community located on the eastern banks of the Delaware River not far from the place where “Washington Crossed the Delaware”. It was first settled in the 18th century as a stage coach stop between Philadelphia and New York City. It now houses one-of-a-kind shops, antique shops, art shops and others owned and operated independently. See the cannel and railroad and have lunch at the restored 19th century Lambertville Station. Order from the menu of a variety of American cuisine at your expense. Or, if you have time before lunch, you can walk across the steel trestle bridge to New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania where there are more shops, restaurants, and theater.
Then on to The Old Barracks Museum in Trenton. This Revolutionary War site was built in 1758 to house British Troops during the French and Indian War. It is one of the last surviving barracks built by local citizens to avoid billeting in their homes. Experience military life before and during the Battle of Trenton. The Hessians were here.
