The 2021 Metro Gathering ~ NJ's American Revolution
​

***NEW DATE & LOCATION***
​AUGUST 7 TH, 2021


Come join the entire Geocaching community as The Northern New Jersey Cachers, NNJC and Central Jersey cachers. CJC, hosts the 7th Annual area Metro Gathering Event. Geocachers from across the United States and beyond are invited August 7th, 2021, to attend this annual Metro Gathering Event.
​

This year we embrace New Jersey’s American Revolutionary War history as New Jersey is called the "Crossroads of the American Revolution", because it held a key geographical position at the center of the new nation. George Washington and the armies were in or crossing it throughout the war. NJ was heavily involved in the fighting, due to the troop movements through the state, and its key geographic position between New York City and Philadelphia.  

This also commemorates the new NJ American Revolution Geo Trail launched in October 2020. This geo coin program showcases many historic locations across NJ
​see njpatriots.org for info.

Come see the once thriving historic East Jersey Old Town Village as we make the 2021 Metro Gathering theme "The American Revolution Theme" Come get into the Patriot spirit!
East Jersey Old Town Village is a collection of historic structures that were relocated to Johnson Park in Piscataway. The village is comprised of sixteen reconstructed and replica 18th and 19th century structures that represent architecture typical of farm and merchant communities once found in the Raritan Valley. 
Buildings include, the Indian Queen Tavern, the Farley Blacksmith Shop, the Williamson Wheelwright Shop, the Smalleytown Schoolhouse, the Three Mile Run Church, the homes of early settlers and outbuildings.
Visitors today can explore the site and meet the historical interpreters that bring the Village to life through their historic trades and crafts. A gateway site for the Crossroads of the American Revolution, National Heritage Area, situated along the Washington-Rochambeau National Historic Trail, the Village offers awarding winning exhibits, living history, and seasonal programs. 
FREE ADMISSION - Open Year-Round, excluding Holidays, Rutgers Football game days and Rutgers graduation
