On this episode of Destination Anywhere, we're going to take a deep dive into the history of Burlington Island. Located in the Delaware River, between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Burlington Island was the site of the first European settlement in New Jersey in the 1600s. By the 20th century, the island was home to an amusement park and would later become a vacation destination up until the late-1970s. With no permanent residents, Burlington Island is maintained by local volunteers striving to maintain and restore the glory of the island.
