The Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission, in conjunction with local historical organizations, has designated the weekend of October 13 -14, 2012, "Weekend Journey through the Past." During the two-day period, twenty-two of the County's most significant historic sites will be open. Many of the sites have planned special exhibits, programs, and tours. Admission and parking at each site is free.
The sites have been grouped into three convenient tours by location: Northern, Central, and Southern Somerset County. A scenic route plan with driving directions has been prepared for each of the three tours.
This annual event is a perfect opportunity for a family outing. A visit to the County's historic sites offers a unique educational experience for young and old alike, as well as a chance to visit some of Somerset County's most picturesque and unspoiled areas.
Heritage Trail Association creatively celebrates and educates the public about Somerset County its role in New Jersey and our nation’s history.
