"Burlington, New Jersey is the birthplace of James Fenimore Cooper and safe haven for General Grant's family during the Civil War. He was on his way there to celebrate Easter the night Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. It is also the location of one of the nicest bed & breakfasts one can find. Your hosts become instant friends and the surroundings take you back to more tranquil times. Steps from the waterfront the site provides a relaxing setting regardless of the circumstances of your visit. I would live there if possible, Suggest you visit nearby St. Mary's Episcopal Church first parish of New Jersey while there."
