Our state of New Jersey has more than 500 farmlands, hillsides and homesteads that played some part, saw some action in the American Revolution. Our Revolutionary War heritage - perhaps more significant than that of any other state - has been federally recognized by the designation of the Crossroads of the American Revolution Nation Heritage Area in New Jersey - one of America's 40 congressional delegation, two New Jersey governors, and the Crossroads of the American Revolution Association (Crossroads).

Crossroads, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation has been appointed by the federal government to work with heritage area residents, local and state governments and other interested organizations to unify and promote New Jersey's National Heritage Area.

That area includes 213 cities and towns within 14 counties, 13 National Historic Landmarks and more than 250 indoor and outdoor spaces on the National Register of Historic Places. The New Jersey Heritage Area brings together classic schoolbook sites like the Old Barracks at Trenton, which Washington captured on December 26, 1776, and other essential sites like the Monmouth Battlefield State Park, where the largest artillery battle of the Revolutionary War was fought and Morristown National Historical Park where Washington and the Continental Army endured two winters - including the harshest one of the 18th Century.

By helping preserve, unite and promote these sites, Crossroads is expanding the public's knowledge about the people, places and events that transformed American history. We at Crossroads believe we are also creating a sense of pride about New Jersey's role in the birth of the United States of America.
