2. General Greene Inn Marker

In a later life Bogart's Tavern was known as the General Greene Inn. Mounted on the outside wall of Bogart's Tavern, this marker describes that in 1776, General Nathanael Greene ordered flat boats to be brought down the Delaware River for use by General Washington in crossing the river.

General George Washington and men of the Continental Army and militia crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776 and marched to Trenton, New Jersey. There they attacked and defeated Hessian troops quartered in and around the village. This surprise attack and victory set the stage for Washington's subsequent victories at the Second Battle of Trenton and Princeton.
