Bordentown is one of several towns considered to be located at the 'Crossroads of the American Revolution.'
Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, once lived there and his house stands today as a private building.
Across the street is the former home of Patience Lovell Wright, a sculptor who is said to have provided British intelligence to the American cause. Her house is now also privately owned.
Both buildings reside on the historic Farnsworth Avenue, which also plays host to the Bordentown Veterans Memorial. There, residents from every armed conflict over the past 250 years have their names etched.
Down the street is the former residence of Thomas Paine, famed writer of pamphlets that framed the cause for independence. The home, which he is said to have periodically lived in, is now a coffee shop called, 'Smachna Kawa.' Inside, Paine's portrait watches over customers.
Around the corner is Christ Church Episcopal Cemetery, in which various Bordentown figures are buried. The founder of Bordentown, Joseph Borden, and his son rest here.
Tour guide Mark Neurohr-Pierpaoli has branched out to offer tours in neighboring towns as well, such as Burlington City, New Brunswick, and Mount Holly.
When Neurohr-Pierpaoli is not teaching class or giving tours, he is writing about the history of hot dogs in New Jersey. His book, New Jersey Hot Dogs: A Frank History, was just recently published.
