Built in the '30s, this huge, duck-shaped structure houses a gift shop & tourist information center.

👍 I love that it's a historical site, and one where people fought for our independence but.... for it to be closed on Memorial Day weekend and no flags flying is just wrong! This place is flanked on one side by a U.S. Coast Guard Station and on the other by a U.S. Armed Services Reserve Center which s...

Country's oldest operating trolley museum, with vintage vehicles, history exhibits & themed rides.

👍👍 A step back in time to the 1940’s in a diner car, that’s what I remember them being called,and have a delightful breakfast or lunch. Really friendly staff. Food is very good.

Quaint, small theater lined with a Sicilian puppet collection hosts plays, puppet shows & more.

It was the home of Rev. John Rutgers Marshall, his wife Sarah, nine children and three slaves from 1771 to 178...

👍👍 Allison and Burr Homestead are the perfect place for any event. I don't know where to begin. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Allison is professional and goes above and beyond. She answered all of my questions and always ensured that we were comfortable and happy. We had to postpone o...
