🪶 Discover the roads, trails, and waterways Washington’s troops once rode and marched and fought for our freedom — the same Revolutionary ground still lying beneath your feet today.

All within the Old Amwell region — once a 200‑square‑mile stretch of central New Jersey, now divided into the modern towns that surround us today. Discover how ordinary families, tavern keepers, farmers, and even local women played extraordinary roles in securing American independence.

During your visit enjoy a complimentary assortment of fine chocolates and sparkling bubbly — a little indulgence as you uncover America’s most surprising hidden stories.

We look forward to seeing you there!
