5.0Princeton Tour Company(817 reviews) - Our Walking Tour of Princeton Thursday: 7:00 AM - 11:00 PM Cultural Tours • Ghost & Vampire Tours • Historical & Heritage Tours • Literary, Art & Music Tours • Walking Tours
We loved the tour. Jennifer made us almost forget the heat (and it was hot). She has a great demeanor, presenting the information using relatable vernacular and she was so funny. Loved her. Did not think we would learn so much about Princeton but we sure did. If all of the guides are like her then this company is truly blessed. And if not, I hope a lot of tours are given by Jennifer.See more..
The Heritage Center is one of my favorite types of historic sites - a space dedicated to a unique bit of history and run by enthusiastic volunteers. Research into the history of airships led me to the Navy Lakehurst Heritage Center on the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. The Heritage Center tells the story of the American military's use of rigid airships and blimps. As part of the tour, we visited the location of the Hindenburg disaster in 1937 and learned about Lakehurst's location as a port for airships. We then went to Hangar No. 1, which housed the airships at Lakehurst, to view a small museum and hear about the history of the airship program. We next headed into the hangar itself and finished at the Ready Room and POW-MIA Room containing exhibits related to American military history. The exhibits are informative but don't expect a perfectly arranged space with slick museum labels. This is more a cabinets crowded with photos and interesting artifacts and stuff hanging from the ceiling type of place. Tours are run by volunteers and their stories and knowledge are what make your visit worth the trip. The two gentlemen who led my tour were cheerful and eager to share their knowledge. A few pieces of advice. Since the Heritage Center is on an active military base, tours are only offered a few times a month and you must register several weeks in advance. All info is at http://www.nlhs.com/nlhstours.htm. There is quite a bit of standing, although the volunteers did provide chairs for those who needed them. It's possible to leave the tour early if you're not able to stay the entire time. The Hindenburg site is quite windy so bring a jacket. Even if military history isn't your normal area of interest, the history of American airships is so unique that it's worth the trip.See more..

4.0Old Hook Farm(3 reviews) - Don't miss this unique farm stand Thursday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Historical & Heritage Tours • Food Tours • Day Trips
The Old Hook Farm stand is not hard to miss and it has become very popular with customers. They have a whole greenhouse with interesting plants and flowers, a general store full of organic products and a complete bakery with pies, breads and doughnuts. It is just nice to walk around the farm area and enjoy the day in the sunshine. The people who work here are really nice and it's nice talking to them about their products and where they are made. Take time to tour the store and look at the antiques.See more..

4.0Hope Historical Society(1 review) - Wonderful little historical society in Hope, NJ Thursday: Historical & Heritage Tours
I recently visited the Hope Historical Society in Hope, NJ for the Annual Lantern Tour of this historic little town founded by the Moravian sect. We toured the entire town with its historic homes, early manufacturing and Christmas tree celebration. The town was lit with hundreds of white lights over the historical buildings and had some luminaries that lit the streets. There was even a life Nativity scene as part of the tour which was interesting. It was a nice way to learn about the town. As part of the tour, we visited the Historical Society building which was open for the evening and it is an interesting collection of maps, town memorabilia and historical items. It is a small building packed with information. After the tour was over, I went to the Candlelight Service at the Methodist Church which was a lot of fun and a nice way to get into the Christmas spirit. Don't miss this interesting tour and little town at the holidays and take a trip into the building to learn the history of the town.See more..
