Review:
Rockingham State Historic Site preserves the historic home of John Berrien, which served as George Washington's final headquarters throughout the Revolutionary War.
The Franklin Township attraction was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, relocated from a hillside at Rocky Hill on the eastern side of the Millstone River.
Visitors can view the historic home in its completely restored condition, which showcases period-appropriate furnishings and Washington military reproductions.
Guided tours are offered between August and November, elaborating on historical events that took place within the home, including the writing of Washington's "Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States."
A children's museum is also maintained at the site, along with an 18th-century kitchen garden.
