Join Washington Township Historical Society to learn more about the area's early settlement and pieces of the past that still remain.

Step back 250 years and discover why settlers chose this location, what priorities shaped their community, and which buildings were built first.

Stand before what was once the village’s iconic stone fortress—its walls an impressive three feet thick—and hear the legend of
when George Washington slept there.

Learn how this small settlement grew in importance and why Washington Township—the first in NJ to be named after George
Washington—is regarded as historically significant today.
