Map / Directions to the Cooper's Ferry Site
This historic sign in front of the Cooper Branch Library at Johnson Park marks the site of Cooper's Ferry, which ran across the Delaware River to and from Philadelphia. The Delaware River is located three-tenths of a mile west from here.
During the Revolutionary War, British forces occupied Philadelphia from September 26, 1777 until June 18, 1778. Because Cooper's Ferry provided an entrance into New Jersey from Philadelphia, this area became the site of military activity during that time. Three important events are described below.
