Trenton Ferry Site

The Trenton Ferry Site served as a key Delaware River crossing during the Revolutionary War and was part of George Washington’s strategic plan for the surprise attack on Trenton in December 1776. Though General James Ewing’s troops were unable to cross there due to harsh conditions, the site highlights the logistical challenges and coordinated effort behind the pivotal Battle of Trenton. Today, it stands as a reminder of Trenton’s strategic riverfront role in the fight for independence.
