Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Major site
Lambertville
Lambertville descends to Delaware through a fabric of Victorian houses, galleries and shops that pass without speed. The pedestrian bridge to New Hope physically connects two municipalities in the same river frame, with a simple visual reading of both banks.
Culture and heritage
Delaware and Raritan Canal
The Delaware and Raritan Canal Follows an old flat and evocative haulway, where walking and cycling give a long time to the landscape. We follow successively locks, guard houses and wet vegetation without suffering the pressure of the roads.
Culture and heritage
Washington Crossing State Park
Washington Crossing recalls a night of military passage that became a founding scene by linking it to its current shore facing Delaware. The park's historic course puts national narrative and materiality on the surface, useful to understand how memory is housed in a very familiar place today.
Culture and heritage
Howell Living History Farm
Howell Living History Farm activates a farm of the early 20th century with field work, line horses and seasonal demonstrations that really change over the months. The device invites to manipulate agricultural and technical gestures, which makes the period more precise than a simple static reconstitution.
