  • 2019 Weekend in Old Monmouth Booklet
    Site Name Site Name Address Address Welcome to Monmouth County History The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Historical Commission welcome you to the Twelfth Annual Weekend in Old Monmouth self-guided tour of historic sites. This year, the tour includes more than 50 sites organized into four segments: Bayshore or Purple Tour - sites 1 - 14 Two Rivers or Blue Tour - sites 15 - 26 Seashore or Green Tour - sites 27 - 36 Western or Orange Tour - sites 37 - 50 Experience indicates that some tour followers attempt to visit as many sites as possible while others opt for a small number, often those close to home. Regarding organization, the tour places some widely separated sites in a semblance of order. Conversely, other sites are located close together. Visitors may see the sites in any order, or no order, or reverse the sequence from the proposed starting points. Three of the tours begin in proximity to county borders, while Two Rivers begins in a population center that is readily accessible from the Garden State Parkway. The suggested routes offer logical, easy-to-follow directions, but those familiar with the local landscape or possessing GPS systems may wish to use alternate roads. We suggest making a point to visit Site 48, the Monmouth County Historical Association Museum and Library. The Association has an incomparable collection of Monmouth artifacts, extensive research holdings and features informative changing exhibitions on Monmouth County history. While there, also visit the Battle of Monmouth Monument in front of the Monmouth County Courthouse. If you have questions, please email the Executive Director, John Fabiano at [email protected].
