New Jersey played a crucial role in the American Revolution
This year we embrace New Jersey’s American Revolutionary War history
as New Jersey is called the "Crossroads of the American Revolution".
New Jersey held a key geographical position at the center of the new nation positioned between the Nations
Capitol in Philadelphia and the British stronghold in New York city.
George Washington spent more time in New Jersey than anywhere else during the Revolutionary War. Many of the locations where the Continental Army marched, encamped, and fought battles are still here to be explored.
