Monmouth County Revolutionary War Sites

The revolutionary Battle of Monmouth signaled the end of major combat in the North. Centuries later, reminders of the conflict remain. The Covenhoven House, the Village Inn, Marlpit Hall, the Craig House and the homes of Thomas Seabrook and the murdered Joseph Murray stand open to the public today. Visitors can also behold safehouses for the wounded--such as Old Tennent Church, St. Peter's and Old First Church--and tread along the same ground as George Washington, General Sir Henry Clinton, Alexander Hamilton and the Marquis de Lafayette. Devoting attention to these sites and to the Battle Monument in Freehold, the Revolution's most prominent and enduring symbol, historian Randall Gabrielan leads a tour through Monmouth County's revolutionary heritage.
