The Bear Tavern Road/Jacob's Creek Crossing Rural Historic District covers the farms along Bear Tavern Road north of its intersection with Jacob's Creek Road, as well as the bridge and intersection itself. Bear Tavern Road dates to 1729 and George Washington led the Continental Army along it in 1776, on his way from crossing the Delaware to the Battle of Trenton. The district still reflects its 18th and 19th century patterns of development.
