Acquackanonk Bridge

American troops, encamped between the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers, were ordered by Washington, Nov. 21, 1776, to cross the Passaic here. After burning the bridge, they marched across Jersey. The Blanchard House often was used as a headquarters.

Marker is at the intersection of Gregory Avenue and River Drive, on the right when traveling east on Gregory Avenue.
