Titusville
Titusville, New Jersey
Half a day: walk the Washington Crossing State Park and the reenactment site, then lunch in Lambertville or Princeton. Not a base.
Titusville is a tiny village on the Delaware River, best known for the site where George Washington crossed in 1776. The state park has a visitor centre with Revolutionary War artifacts, and the annual Christmas Day reenactment draws a crowd. Most visitors stop for 2–4 hours on the way to Lambertville or Princeton.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Handshake and 'hi, how are you?' — reply 'good, thanks'; avoid: Treating the question as a real health enquiry
- Restaurants: Tip 18–22% and wait for the check; avoid: Leaving without tipping
- Personal space: Keep an arm's length in queues; avoid: Standing close to strangers
- Politics and religion: Listen more than you speak; avoid: Opening with hot-button topics
- Smoking: Smoke only in marked areas; avoid: Smoking near doors or in parks where banned
Scams and watch-outs
- The reenactment on Christmas Day is popular: arrive early for parking.
- Park hours vary by season; check the state park website before visiting.
- No restaurants or shops in Titusville itself; eat in Lambertville or Pennington.
Very safe. The main risk is icy roads in winter and limited cell service in parts of the park.
