Burlington

  Burlington, established as a municipality in 1677, became the grounds for the first european settlement in New Jersey circa 1624.  And after 333 years Burlington continues to preserve an old world feel.  I had stopped in Burlington to check out the Promenade Walk which is a one mile stretch of path along the banks of the Delaware, but as I was walking the cobbled sidewalk from my car to the river, past the quaint “shoppes” and cafes and restaurants, I decided Burlington was my new favorite city and that I would have to return for a more extensive tour of the area.

Here are a couple pictures of the Promenade.

 

This is the Burlington-Bristol Bridge, connecting, you guessed it, Burlington, NJ to Bristol, PA.

This is the Doane Academy, part of the New Jersey Women’s Heritage Trail.  The trail weaves around New Jersey stopping at places that have to do with women of NJ.
