Old Gesher, Heritage site in Northern District, Israel
Old Gesher contains three bridges from different periods, an ancient khan, and a British police station near the Jordan River banks.
In April 1948, the settlement withstood attacks from the Arab Legion, becoming the first Jewish settlement to resist during the War of Independence.
The museum at Old Gesher presents exhibits about the early kibbutz movement and the development of Jewish settlements in the Jordan Valley.
The site offers guided tours in multiple languages, with access from Route 90 between Tiberias and Beit Shean, including parking facilities.
The Naharayim power station reconstruction demonstrates the first electrical plant that provided power across borders in the Middle East.
