Lambertville
Historic town · New Jersey
An old canal town on the Delaware River, facing New Hope across the water, where restored 18th and 19th century houses line streets that make up nearly the entire National Register historic district. The towpath along the old feeder canal gives walkers and cyclists river views in every season, and fall pulls in gallery hoppers and antique shoppers by the carload.
