Crossing This 200-Year-Old Bridge In New Jersey Is Like Walking Through History

New Jersey is such a busy state that it often feels like it’s changing a mile a minute. One day, we’re walking down our beloved main street, and the next it looks completely different. I find that when the pace of everyday life gets overwhelming, nothing helps take the edge off like a visit to one of New Jersey’s many historic districts. These places have been largely unchanged for well over a hundred years – some before the United States was even a country! A little-known one hiding in Somerset County, Bridgepoint Historic District is one of our smaller historic areas, but it has nine preserved buildings with a unique character. It’s also home to a historic bridge in NJ that offers a beautiful view and a unique way to cross over into history. This is a perfect quick day trip to discover a little-known chapter of Garden State history.
