streets of days gone by and hiking winding trails in secluded
forests make you feel like you're in another time. With more than

the Delaware River Region is a boater's delight. Add some culture
with stops at Camden's USS New Jersey, the most decorated
battleship in U.S. Navy history and Princeton's War Memorial. Other
attractions in the Delaware River Region include Camden Children's
Garden, where kids can ride the garden carousel or climb the
treehouse and Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, home to 270
outdoor sculptures. Award-winning wineries can be found throughout
the region, including Coda Rossa Winery in Franklinville, which
produces an Ameritage (it's an award-winner) and an assortment of
other wines. Beer drinkers also have options here, with breweries
like Berlin Brewing Company offering microbrews made in-house.
