East Amwell Historical Society Museum and Gallery

Hidden History of the Revolution Exhibit • This Sat &amp; Sun • 2–4 PM&nbsp;&nbsp;
East Amwell Historical Society Museum &amp; Gallery at the Historic Clawson House, 1053 Old York Road, Ringoes, NJ • Free Admission (Donations Appreciated)

If you live anywhere in Hunterdon, Mercer, Somerset, Sussex, Morris, Monmouth Counties and surrounding communities you’re standing on land that once belonged to — the original 200‑square‑mile Revolutionary region that carried Washington, his scouts, his spies, the intelligence networks and the women who helped win the war.
Most people have no idea their modern towns were once part of this vast Revolutionary world.
This weekend, you can walk straight into it.
The Hidden History You’ll Finally Learn (lost to time, never taught in school): 200‑Square‑Mile Story — how your modern county was once part of a single Revolutionary region called, Old Amwell

Washington’s Real Routes — the exact roads he rode, marched and rested through Ringoes, Hopewell, Lambertville, Flemington, Clinton, Pennington, Trenton, The Brunswicks, Princeton, Hillsborough, Monmouth and Bucks County and beyond
Espionage &amp; Spy Rings — families running covert operations from farmhouses and taverns
Courier Riders — 60‑mile‑a‑day messengers carrying coded orders through your towns
Taverns of Rebellion for Independence from Britain's Rule— where intelligence, courage, and strategy were exchanged
1776-1807 Women and Free Black Men Voters of NJ — decades before the other colonies had the right
Safe Houses &amp; Farmsteads — the quiet places that kept the army alive
Artifacts That Survived — everyday objects, Continental and NJ Militia Weaponry that witnessed the war right here
Cool off in our museum and gallery, enjoy fresh cookies, chocolates, bubbly, and wander through the exhibit that will have you saying:
“I had no idea this happened where I live.”
And the best part?You’ll want to come back — because the more you learn, the more you’ll want to know.
