Purchase
a “Discover NJ History” License Plate Before Stock Runs Out
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware
River and at the center of industry and travel on the bustling East Coast , New
Jersey has always been a place where things happen
and history is made.
Exploring that history can take you to Washington Crossing
State Park where General George
Washington and his troops crossed an icy Delaware River to attack Hessian
soldiers resting in Trenton and to Ellis Island where
millions of immigrants first entered America . Exploring history may also
take you to Menlo Park
where Thomas Edison’s research laboratories churned out world-changing
inventions, to Whitesbog Farm where blueberries were first cultivated for consumption
by people around the world, to the Cape May Lighthouse, which at 150 years
of age is one of the nation’s oldest lighthouses in continuous operation, or to the High Point Monument in our own High Point State Park right here in Montague, where you can view three states from the highest elevation in NJ.
Experience our local heritage at the Foster-Armstrong House on River Rd.

destination in New Jersey ,
