Reopening of the Taylorsville General Store
To ensure our site is equipped to meet visitor needs in 2026 and beyond, the Friends of Washington Crossing Park have invested in reopening the Taylorsville General Store, formerly home to our Patriot Gift Shop.
This 19th‑century building, part of the historic merchant town of Taylorsville, was originally opened by Mahlon Taylor in 1828, just before the Delaware Canal was constructed.
In 2025, the Taylorsville store will host two “attic treasure” sales in conjunction with McConkey’s Market, followed later in the year by a pop-up artisan and craft shop during the holiday season.
Beginning in 2026, the space will be converted into a permanent artisan shop featuring local artisan gifts, souvenirs, and refreshments, giving visitors the opportunity to extend their park visit with a light meal and take home a tangible piece of the Park and region.
Completed: September 2025 (Programs and Program Enhancements Ongoing)
