About Bowman’s Hill Tower:
Bowman’s Hill Tower is a beautiful stone tower built in the 1930s as a historical monument overlooking the Delaware River. From the top, you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the river and surrounding countryside. Depending on the season, we may even catch some late fall foliage still showing its color.

After the tower visit, we’ll head toward New Hope, about an 11-minute drive from the site.
