Step inside a piece of New Jersey’s Revolutionary War history. 🇺🇸 Covenhoven House played a key role during the American Revolution and remains one of Freehold’s most important historic landmarks. The house served as a headquarters during the war and stands today as a powerful reminder of New Jersey’s central role in the nation’s founding. As we commemorate America’s 250th, experiences like this invite visitors to explore the stories, places and people that shaped our state and our country. Pl

New Jersey wasn’t always New Jersey. From Native Lenape lands, to Dutch New Netherland, to a gift from the King of England — this state’s history is wild. Divided into East & West, Quakers vs elites, constant land fights… until Queen Anne finally pulled it together. By 1787, it became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. The “Crossroads of the Revolution” truly earned its spot in history. #HistoryFacts #AmericanHistory #NewJersey #DidYouKnow #ViralHistory #RevolutionaryWar #FunFacts
