Ways You Can Help New Jersey Gain Its First National Heritage Area:
CROSSROADS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

“With the Crossroads [National Heritage Area], we can have the partnerships in NJ and the educational story of NJ spread everywhere. Picture this: coming from Valley Forge, down the Schuylkill into Philadelphia, through the Crossroads, up the Hudson River Valley Revolutionary sites to Saratoga…It’s a very, very exciting story. NJ is now the only gap that in that picture!”

“As America is again engaged in a struggle to protect our freedom and our young men and women are risking their lives in this war on terrorism, it is important to remember our nation’s earliest courageous actions--and that blood was spent here in NJ in pursuit of our independence. Along with our children and grandchildren, we all deserve a chance to walk the pathways of our Revolutionary ancestors and walk the grounds where Washington’s army camped and fought for the freedom we enjoy today.”
