  • 2015 Weekend in Old Monmouth Booklet Web.Indd
    Welcome to Monmouth County History The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Historical Commission welcome you to the Eighth Annual Weekend in Old Monmouth self-guided tour of historic sites. This year the tour includes more than 45 sites organized into four segments: North or Yellow Tour - sites 1 - 13 East or Blue Tour - sites 14 - 23 South or Green Tour - sites 24 - 33 West or Red Tour - sites 34 – 44 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 sub-tours begin in proximity to county borders, while the fourth, or East, begins in a population center and is readily accessible from the Garden State Parkway. In addition, the Tour Booklet points out a number of opportunities to leave the proscribed order. 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 44A, the Monmouth County Historical Association Museum and Library. The Association has an incomparable, magnifi cent collection of Monmouth artifacts, extensive research holdings and features informative changing exhibitions on Monmouth County history. While there also visit a Monmouth County owned site, the Battle of Monmouth Monument in front of the Monmouth County Courthouse.
