Jockey Hollow, where Washington and his Army stayed during the winter of 1776 (I think) is a great park.

No, just a spectator.

Many great ARW parks here.

Monmouth Battlefield
Washingtons Crossing
Morristown
Fort Lee
Princeton

To name a few.

The encampment continues tomorrow.

We have 'em here in PA, too.

If you use Facebook, have a look at the History Girl's page. She a young college student from Jersey who promotes interest in American history in general, and in New Jersey's rich historical heritage specifically.

Prost!

The median U.S. property tax bill was $2,132

Nassau, NY $9,091
Passaic, NJ $8,978
