Lambertville New Jersey -
A Great Day Trip or Weekend Getaway

The curious visitor will find antique shops, art galleries, specialty stores, bed and breakfasts, a brewery and plenty of good restaurants.

The more active visitor will try the canal path where bicyclists can enjoy a ride for people of all skill levels.

Settled in 1705, Lambertville New Jersey is one of the oldest communities in the State. This village grew into an industrial center with the development of the Delaware and Raritan Canal.

Lambertville New Jersey has no t-shirt shops and no place to buy water ice.

Along the streets are brick, stucco and clapboard Federal row homes, in shades of blue, maroon, brown and turquoise. These homes were built for factory workers in the 1800's and are now in various stages of restoration.

The city also has some historic significance. Washington and his men visited Lambertville at least three times in 1776, 1777 and 1778, and on his final trip through, he set up headquarters in the John Holcombe House ( 260 N. Main St.), now a private residence.

The D & R towpath along the canal runs through the city, connecting it to towns further north. Stockton is three miles further.

The city's waterfront plays host to a number of activities, including rafting, tubing, kayaking, canoeing and river trolleys.
