Three Hundred Years of Solitude
The Solitude House stands as a testament to our collective history as a new nation, as well as testament to all those who persevered in the face of overwhelming odds to succeed.
The Hunterdon County Borough of High Bridge would on its face appear little different than any of the other many municipalities in New Jersey. However, the sign, “Settled in 1700”, which welcomes those who pass through this sleepy little town, implies a long abiding heritage: a story of the longest continually operating iron and steel company in United States and the workers who helped shape our country's history and destiny.

Winona Parkway entrance to White Deer Plaza looks much the same way as on this old postcard.To walk along the Boardwalk at Lake Mohawk in Sussex County is to step back into another time, a time when the pace of life was a tad slower and less complicated.

Liquid Wisdom
The Lamington River draws families, nature lovers, pet owners, and picnickers to its banks. Children splash through the rocky riverbeds. Birders amble along the shores. Fishermen enjoy hours of solitude on a precious stretch of public river frontage.
Fired Up
If you're planning on going camping sometime this summer, don't wait much longer. Before you know it, school days will (hopefully) be upon us. Camping is an outstanding way to enjoy the rural character of Northwest New Jersey. And remember, in most cases, you can enjoy the comfort of a fully equipped RV or even a cabin, as well as resort-style amenities. These facilities are a long way from generic trailer hookups and tent sites. Take a drive and
