The Nelson House

The Nelson House, located in Titusville, NJ, is historically significant due to its proximity to the Delaware River crossing site where George Washington and his troops crossed on the night of December 25-26, 1776, en route to the Battle of Trenton. Although not directly involved in the battle, the house is part of the Washington Crossing Historic District, an area critical to the war effort. The property’s association with the larger context of troop movements and military strategy underscores its connection to the Revolutionary War and the strategic actions that led to American independence.
