Closing Arguments
Trails ablaze at Blue Mountain Lake
Indian Summer is sweet and short, and Halloween means chilly days and barren limbs are not far ahead. But don't be afraid to make a choice! The road ahead is lined with good things to do and colorful panoramas linger. Pick from a multitude of daytrip itineraries and watch out for our virtual efforts to keep you informed. Treasure the journey!
Eminent Remains
A visitor walking around the Burying Ground of the Presbyterian Church in Morristown will recognize two things right away: a lot of gravestones corresponding to Morristown street names such as Mills, Cutler, Condict, DeHart, Vail and Phoenix (to name a few); and what the ravages of time and nature can do to a place.
Trickle Down
Spruce Run Creek is a sparkling ribbon of natural beauty whose course through rich agricultural land interspersed with hardwood and evergreen forests still embodies the area's early history and provides sanctuary for many species of wildlife. The spring rises along the ridge of Schooley's Mountain, ten miles northeast of the reservoir near the boundary of Washington Township, in Morris County, and Lebanon Township, in Hunterdon County.
Foliated again!
On the north side of Branchville is a 15,482-acre playground known as Stokes State Forest. It's mountains of gorgeous woods and clean water, and it's mountains of fall fun.
On the Trail
Each of the fourteen sites along this weekend's Explore Warren History Trail offers visitors a special activity. At Knowlton Township's Ramsaysburg Historic Homestead, trail-goers will enjoy the annual Riverside Fall Festival along with interpretive tours of the grounds on Saturday, November 2 (10am-4pm). Visit Ken's Famous Apple Tent to taste an assortment of locally-grown apples, as well as cider pressed on-site, and choose from an array of homemade baked apple goods at Ye Olde Bake Sale. E&R Mathez Farm will offer samplings of their delicious honey and River Valley Community Grains offer locally-grown grains, milled flour, and other items. There will be wool spinning, and kid’s activities that will include making corn husk dolls. As always, visitors can enjoy the natural allure of the property and relish magnificent seasonal views along Delaware River. The Ramsaysburg Homestead is located at 140 Route 46 at Ramseyburg Road in Delaware, NJ.
Many of Warren County’s historic sites will again participate in the annual self-guided county-wide tour, with family activities at each location, scheduled this year for the weekend of November 2-3, 2024. Each stop along the trail offers something different and exciting for the whole family.
Each site will open 10am-4pm on either Saturday or Sunday. Download this map and guide to plan your trip!
