Rockingham State Historic Site is a lovely New Jersey historic site that preserves the former home and estate of John Berrien, best known as the site of George Washington's final Revolutionary War headquarters. The National Register of Historic Places-listed site, which is located within Franklin Township in the city of Kingston, was relocated to its current location from its original site at the eastern edge of the Millstone River in Rocky Hill. Today, visitors can tour the historic home as part of self-guided or guided tours and view its completely restored interior, which is decked out in period-appropriate furnishings and military reproductions from Washington's time.

Rockingham State Historic Site guided tours detail the historical events that took place in the home, including the writing of the famed Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States.
