HIGHLIGHTS:  WEEK OF JUNE 19 - JUNE 25

SUMMER FUN TOP 10 HISTORIC SITES

 

Summer is a great time to get out there with the kids and explore all the fun things NJ has to offer.  Whether you are looking for places to beat the heat, find some sand, or even fight brain drain to teach the kids a thing or two, we have something for everyone.   We have picked a sample of our favorite places to go. There is so much history to explore throughout the garden state. There are several historic villages that allow you to step back in time.  Or spend the day exploring a battleship, WWII tower, or historic farm.  Most of these are very inexpensive way to have fun and learn something at the same time.
