About Washington Crossing Historic Park

The park covers roughly 500 acres along the Delaware River and marks the spot where Washington led his troops across during the Revolutionary War. Visitors can walk the grounds on their own at no charge, or book timed guided tours of the historic village, the Thompson-Neely House, the grist mill, and Bowman's Hill Tower. The Visitor Center holds exhibits, an orientation film, a full-size replica of Leutze's painting, a museum shop, and a 238-seat auditorium. Friends of Washington Crossing Park, a nonprofit, runs the site and is renovating buildings and gardens ahead of 2026.
