Looking for a story with a good plot? Well, how about a plot with a good story!
The Hunterdon County 300th Committee is hosting an American Revolutionary Cemetery Bus Tour of the southern portion of the county on Saturday, Nov. 5.
The bus leaves East Amwell Township Hall, 1070 Route 202/31 at 9:00 a.m. and will stop at four cemeteries, and one former British officer’s burial site.
Participants will discover Sons of Liberty, men who shouldered muskets against the British and Hessians, a spy, a key player in George Washington’s legendary crossing of the Delaware River, a pall bearer at Washington’s funeral, a doctor who treated a deathly ill Marquis de Lafayette and more. The tour ends at the site commemorating the Amwell Skirmish where a British cornet, killed in the fight, was once buried.
The 3 ½ hour excursion will also take guests past a number of the county’s revolutionary-era historic sites.
Tour guide for the event is Dave Harding, a member of the East Amwell and Hunterdon County historical societies. Dave has given numerous cemetery and walking tours, and is the author of a self-guided tour of downtown Ringoes.
The tour will include some walking to the John Ringos’ monument and the Amwell Skirmish site, so wear comfortable shoes. Park in the baseball field lot on Wertsville Road behind the East Amwell Township Hall building and walk to town hall.
A second tour covering the northern half of Hunterdon County will be held the following Saturday, Nov. 12, with John Allen.

($) Revolutionary War Cemetery Tour North
()
Our adventure starts at the North Branch of the County Library, 65 Halstead Street, Clinton, NJ where we will board our bus to visit three North County cemeteries, each of which is the final resting place of veterans from the American Revolution: Spruce Run Cemetery, DAR Memorial Park Cemetery and the Bethlehem Presbyterian Cemetery. This will be no ordinary tour, however. Our tour guide, historian John Allen, will discuss not just the soldiers' service, but also of genealogical resources used to track down ancestors, maintaining older burial grounds, including photographing and restoring old headstones, and about the supply function that helped keep soldiers fed, clothed, and armed while in the field, and who was charged with restoring their health when sick or wounded! And learn of the early history of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church.
Snacks and water will be provided and, at our second stop, the Daughters of the American Revolution will also be on hand with goodies!
