Below is Ringwood Manor in Ringwood State Park, NJ. It is actually two houses linked together and it is a beauty. The house with the beautiful grounds surrounding it are worth the $5.00 entry fee. Did I mention $5.00 total! Family of five and it's a great deal.

The Battleship New Jersey in Camden.

The ship's bell off the original Battleship New Jersey. It was part of the Great White Fleet as imagined by then Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt. The bell was removed prior to the ship being sunk by General Billy Mitchell. Mitchell was trying to prove that you could sink a battleship with bombs from an airplane. The bell is in Elizabeth N.J. The ship's silver service is stored in the Governor's Mansion in Princeton.

The only original Colonial Govenor's Mansion still standing.
