Description
This early 18th-century farmhouse & tavern near the Delaware River was owned by Garret Johnson, who operated a 490-acre colonial plantation as well as a ferry service across the river.
General George Washington and his staff occupied this house while the American Army regrouped after the successful night crossing of the Delaware River in December 1776. Washington's staff used the shelter of this house to finalize strategy for the attack on Trenton.
