This is the location of AT&T's "Pole Farm". In the early 1900's AT&T had their scientist's search out coordinates for the optimum area to send radio wave signals for telephone usage. After extensive research they chose this spot in my area for the construction of hundreds of telephone poles erected in a diamond shape pattern.
There was one pole per country and it was pointed toward that country, predominantly in Europe and the Caribbean. So, in the early 1940's, for example, when president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to discuss WW2 war strategy with Winston Churchill in London, their telephone signals would meet at this spot.
There is only one pole that remains standing and it is believed to be pointed toward Tel Aviv, Israel.
The beginning of the end for the "pole farm" was the launch of the first communications satellite in the early 1960's

"Beautiful location on the Delaware River. Lots of cute local browsing & shopping areas to enjoy. Great local eateries to choose from. Best part is you are right on the Delaware for waterfront views and activities! Host was great and communicated with us easily. We look forward to returning during the summer months!"

"The house was perfect for our girls get away weekend. It had everything we could possibly need. The owner contacted me regarding parking and the door lock, with very clear instructions. He couldn’t have been nicer. We were in close proximity to New Hope, which was a great little town. We truly enjoyed our stay. I’m "

"It is a nice house that has been maintained with love and care. The description is accurate. The owner was very good with communication and even allowed us an early check in as we were coming off a red eye flight. It has a big yard which we were able to enjoy. The kitchen was unusually well stocked. It is a convenient location to go to the university. "

"The River house was such a beautiful setting! Made you feel you were very secluded yet so close to everything. Tom and Sharon were super hosts! Quick to respond and very caring of their guests. Our grandchildren loved being able to run around and skip rocks on the water. Would love to read the history of the house and the surroundings!"

"We had a wonderful stay. The house was very nice. It was well stocked, clean, comfortable and with in walking distance to everything. We had a slight problem with the heat and it was fixed immediately. We were totally satisfied would definitely rent again and recommend to others."

"Amazing stay with great location! Super easy to walk to town and get across the Delaware River to also access New Hope, PA. Communication with host was really easy and responsive. Overall clean and tidy, though the neighbors were quite noisy in the morning due to the thin walls. Otherwise, I do recommend this VRBO for a weekend getaway with friends and family!"

"We were in New Hope for a family wedding. The Mountain House provided room for everyone. Our group ranged from 10 months to 71 years in age. The kiddos loved the goats, and had a great time exploring the property."

"Our family had a lovely stay and it was conveniently located so close to rutgers! We were down for a state championship swim meet and it was so nice to drive 8 min back to the house and be able to cook lunch and dinner for the kids and allow them to rest between sessions. I would highly recommend!!"

"Had a good time and the neighbors were kind. The playground was up and running. Perfect for a business trip with my family. "

"We really enjoyed our stay at Steve's place. He was a communicative and thoughtful host--he provided coffee, snacks and even left drinks in the fridge for us and for our young daughter. The neighborhood was quiet and close to a beautiful park by the river. We also had an easy drive to Sesame place the next day. The space itself was updated and very clean, with tv's in each room and comfortable beds (and very nice towels!). We enjoyed sitting on the patio outside at the end of the day, as well. I...
