Artisan Market Returning To Washington Crossing Historic Park

WASHINGTON CROSSING, PA — Area residents looking for one-of-a-kind artisan gifts for themselves or others can check out McConkey’s Market on Saturday, Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA).

Now celebrating its 11th season, McConkey’s Market attracts thousands of shoppers to its eclectic mix of nearly 100 vendors who will be selling artisan crafts, up-cycled items, handmade jewelry, original art and photography, pottery, vintage clothing, reclaimed furniture, and collectibles. The market also features live music and several food vendors.

McConkey’s Market takes its name from the park’s McConkey Ferry Inn, parts of which date back to 1750. The building represents a typical country inn or tavern of the Revolutionary era. Tradition has it that George Washington ate at the inn prior to his crossing of the Delaware River.

Admission to the market is free and it will be held rain or shine. For more information, visit McConkeysMarket.com or “like” the market on Facebook at Facebook.com/mcconkeysmarket .
