Lambertville, NJ is just a bit north of where Washington crossed the Delaware. January there is scenic, an annual trip, cold, clear, and you can see the large blocks of ice coming down the Delaware River and imagine what Washington went through at the beginning of the Revolution.
This statue is in Morristown, and most people are totally unaware of the fact that Washington spent most of the War here. Unlike Massachusetts which prides itself on the Revolution, frankly they all left after Bunker Hill and came to my backyard here, battle field after battlefield, decision after decision.
George and his officers spent the winters here, just a small ride from my homestead, and the place has been fairly well preserved. Worth a journey if one ever gets here. It is not the New Jersey Turnpike.
