Right (straight ahead) on this road is BURLINGTON, 1 mile (10 alt., 10,844
pop.) (see BURLINGTON).
Points of Interest: James Lawrence House, James Fenimore Cooper House, West
New Jersey Proprietors Office, Old St. Mary's Church and others.
At 41.5 miles is the junction (R) with a side road to Burlington. South of
this point is the peach orchard section of Burlington County, where blossoms attract thousands of visitors each spring.
At 43.2 miles is Rancocas Creek, largest tributary of the Delaware River in
this region. US 130 crosses the creek on a drawbridge now little used but
suggestive of the busy traffic in lumber and charcoal that once passed here.
William Franklin, the ardent Tory son of Benjamin Franklin and last
Royal Governor of New Jersey, had an estate on the banks of the creek.
