Why Move To Washington Crossing?


Located in Upper Makefield Township, Washington Crossing is famous for General George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River in 1776 during the Revolutionary War.  Every Christmas Day, the town reenacts the crossing of the Delaware with an actor portraying General Washington.

The town has many landmarks such as Washington Crossing Historic Park and Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve. The town also has many shopping opportunities which offer a “hometown feel”, such as Crossing Vineyard, Colonial Farms,  and Francisco’s On The River.

Living in Washington Crossing is not only a step back into history at times, but the town is also known for its relaxing factors. The area offers hiking, bike trails, wildlife sightings and much more.

The Meaning of Mother’s Day


What does Mother’s Day mean to you?

Created in 1908 by Anna Jarvis who simply wanted to honor her mother, Mother’s Day became an official holiday in the United States in 1914. Originally, the holiday was meant as a day of personal celebrations between mothers and their children – however over the years Mother’s Day has been a celebration of all mothers in our lives.

Some of us might celebrate Mother’s Day with our own families, and some might remember mothers who have passed away and left cherished memories. No matter how you might celebrate Mother’s Day and how your life may have been changed or enriched, I hope all moms have a great Mother’s Day this Sunday!
