The 10 Best Historic Walking Areas in New Jersey, United States
Whether you are looking for sun-drenched beaches or outdoor activities in beautiful countryside, New Jersey has plenty to offer. Those who love the great outdoors should head for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which runs along the Delaware River for forty miles. Here you can go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, or simply admire the stunning waterfalls. There is a huge range of hiking trails to choose from as well as historic sites to visit. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing near Blue Mountain Lakes, and birdwatchers might be lucky enough to catch sight of bald eagles. If you are looking for a change, visit one of New Jersey's eleven lighthouses that are open to public, such as the one in Cape May.

We walk along the bouleward almost daily. The walk is really enjoyable both during day time and evenings. The walk in recent days - November 2nd week is more enjoyable during the noons when tje Sun is shining. On any day evening walks give a chance to have glimpse of lit skylines of New York which is fascinating.

Welcome to Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University, home of New Jersey's first elected governor and signer of the Constitution, William Livingston. Built in 1772, on the eve of the American Revolution, Liberty Hall has been a silent witness to more than 200 years of American history. Over the last two centuries, the originally 14-room Georgian manor has grown into a 50-room Victorian-Italianate Mansion! The site houses extensive collections of antique furniture, ceramics, textiles, toys and tools owned by seven generations of the Livingston and Kean families. Liberty Hall has been home to Governors, U.S. Congressmen and Senators, entrepreneurs, and pioneering women with vision and strength. The stories of their lives, passed down from generation to generation, tell how this family met the challenges of a changing nation. Visit Liberty Hall Museum to discover the living past during house and garden tours, educational programs, special events, and lectures!

The Bergen County Historical Society ran an interesting night of Colonial Christmas music intertwined with the history of the Christmas before during and after the Revolutionary War. It seems that the Puritans really put a damper on the holidays in New England. In New Jersey, the Dutch dominated so the traditions developed much differently. The Campbell-Christie House where George Washington had stayed during the Revolution War was decorated for the holidays, not lavishly like the Victorian manors and homes in Bergen County but more to what the Dutch at the time would have decorated with holy and garlands. There were traditional games out to see, candy making and different ways that people would amuse themselves during the holidays. They had a combo of women performing traditional Christmas songs of the season in that era and they were very good. It seems that the Christmas traditions really do not change that much. They adapt to the times. In the Demerest House on the property, they opened a traditional pub and served light pub fare for an extra price with people in period clothing. They kept the prices reasonable and the desserts were really good. The whole room was lite by candle light and there was a nice glow to it. It really was fun to step back in time and see Christmas through the ages. The talk between the musical concert was interesting and engaging as well.

The Barnegat Branch Trail from Barnegat to Lacey is very well maintained and close to eight feet wide in most spots. Some sections run through wooded areas, it feels as thought you’re miles away from anything even though Route 9 is very close. The grade is flat and makes for an enjoyable walk, run or ride.

Reviewed By AdventureDann - New Jersey, United States
Feltville Historic District hosts a haunted hayride that takes you though the woods and past the old houses. It it not only spooky but informative at the same time! There is an old cemetery in woods but no one truly knows where the 24 bodies are located since the tomb stones have moved multiple times over the years.
