This memorial is absolutely beautiful, yet a sobering reminder of the events of 9/11. Liberty State Park opens at 6:00 am so visiting the memorial before the sun rises offers a quiet, peaceful visit. This is a must visit for anyone in the area. The park itself also offers great views of Lower Manhattan.See more..

We picked this place because it has an NPS Passport Stamp (Crossroads of the American Revolution), but there's more to it than that. Volunteer was informative describing what happened here (British massacre of Americans, including Tories) and of challenge in maintaining the historic structure. No photos allowed inside. May have to go across street to park office if site is open but door is locked. Recommended if you like history.See more..

My Rent-A-Kid (11 years old) enjoyed this hike from the State Line Lookout recently. Look for the Long Path markers, and walk south following the hand out maps distributed at the kiosk. The walk through the ravine is very interesting, and kids like the castle at the end of the tour. Both levels have fantastic views.See more..

4.0Mount Pleasant Cemetery(1 review) - Worth a visit for the history buffs. Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Cemeteries • Monuments & Statues
Mount Pleasant Cemetery is an infused with history most interesting local cemetery. We participated in a two-hour walking tour organized by Millville Historical Society, probably the best way to explore this cemetery. Many locally famous people found their resting place here. Coming to Millville you will hear about the Wheaton family, possibly visit Wheaton Arts and Glass Museum. To see the Wheaton family plot you have to come here. That includes the grave of Dr. T.C. Wheaton, who back in 1888 founded in Millville the Weaton glass company which at some point grew to be the largest family own firm in US as well as Frank Hayes Wheaton Jr., who served for three decades as head of Wheaton Industries. One of the main attractions of this cemetery is the mausoleum of Edward Casper Stokes (1860-1942) former governor of the state of New Jersey. Many members of famous South Jersey families are buried there. One of the cemetery sections holds the resting places of many local civil war veterans and appropriate monument.There is also another veterans' quarter of the Mount Pleasant with the resting places of the First and Second World War fighters and Vietnam veterans. This historic cemetery hosts some distinctive,beautiful and at times unusual memorials, tombs, mausoleums and obelisks.See more..
