Due to park construction, our regular series of Guided History Tours will be replaced with the following programs in 2025!

Our History Series Kickoff:

Meet Francis Hopkinson and Hear the Story of Our Flag

On Saturday, June 14th at 2pm, Stanley Saperstein will perform as Francis Hopkinson, New Jersey Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Hopkinson, a member of the Congressional Marine Committee, claimed that he had created the Stars and Stripes.
