East Amwell Historical Society Museum and Gallery

This weekend, escape the heat and step inside Hidden History of the Revolution — our immersive exhibit revealing the vast Revolutionary world that once covered what are now Mercer, Hunterdon, Sussex, and Monmouth Counties in New Jersey, and even Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Enjoy chocolates and bubbly in the cool comfort of the historic Clawson House as you discover that the very ground beneath your feet — your towns, your roads, your neighborhoods — carried General George Washington, his scouts, the Continental army and Militia during the most pivotal moments of America’s fight for independence.
📅 Saturday &amp; Sunday, August 22–23
⏰ 2 PM – 4 PM
📍 East Amwell Historical Society Museum &amp; Gallery at the 🏛️ Historic Clawson House, 1053 Old York Road, Ringoes, NJ
💛 Free — donations appreciated
🍫🥂 Chocolates &amp; bubbly while you explore
Stroll the very roads Washington’s scouts once marched, rode and rested — by exploring the exhibit’s illustrated paths that trace their movements across the 200‑square‑mile Revolutionary landscape that became today’s Hunterdon, Mercer, Sussex, and Monmouth Counties… and even Bucks County, PA.
After exploring the Exhibit, settle into our parlor room for a 16‑minute film that follows Washington’s footsteps through the 10 Crucial Days and onward to Yorktown — complete with fresh popcorn from our vintage popper machine.
These were not quiet backroads. They were considered by George Washington to be the safest passageways during the Revolution — used by courier riders, spies, tavern keepers, farmers, and militia scouts who carried intelligence through Old Amwell during the 10 Crucial Days and beyond.
From the Delaware River crossings from McKonkey’s Ferry to Coryell’s Ferry… to Trenton and Princeton… to Washington’s march toward Monmouth CourtHouse in June 1778… these hills, ridges, and crossroads were the hidden stage on which the Revolution turned.
And now — for the first time — you can follow those routes inside the gallery, illustrated and brought to life through maps, Revolutionary artifacts, and history long forgotten.
Come wander the Clawson House with chocolates and bubbly in hand, and step back into 1776 — into the secret world of scouts, spies, and safe passageways that helped shape a nation.
History didn’t happen far away. It happened on the roads you travel today.
We hope to see you this weekend!
