Washington's Spring

Washington’s Spring, located near 355 Washington Crossing Pennington Road in Titusville, NJ, is a natural landmark traditionally believed to be where George Washington paused for water before the legendary Delaware River crossing on Christmas night, 1776. Though based on local tradition, the site offers a powerful, symbolic connection to the human side of that pivotal moment in the Revolutionary War. Preserved within Washington Crossing State Park, the spring helps bring the history of the Continental Army’s daring campaign to life.
