THROWBACK THURSDAY — Joseph Bonaparte & Point Breeze 📜🕰️🪶
Did you know that Bordentown was once home to royalty?
In the early 1800s, Joseph Bonaparte — the older brother of Napoleon Bonaparte — made Bordentown his home after leaving Europe. He built a massive estate along the Delaware River known as Point Breeze, which became one of the most famous properties in America at the time.
The estate featured beautiful gardens, walking paths, lakes, artwork, and an impressive mansion that welcomed many notable visitors from around the world. Point Breeze was considered one of the grandest homes in the country during its time.
A fun local connection: the current City of Bordentown municipal complex now sits on part of the former Point Breeze property — meaning City business today takes place on land once owned by a former king!
