Monmouth Battlefield Visitor Center — Attraction in Manalapan Township

We were peach picking at Battleview orchards, when my mom asked, "why is the cannon your logo?". The awesome workers at the store told us all about Monmouth Battlefield and that is was right around the corner. So we took the 2 minute drive and it is so amazing there. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. We went right to the main building to find amazing artifacts, replicas and facts about the battle. They have interactive spots, my kids loved!! What a cool piece of history we didn't even know about! They have plenty of information and maps you can take. They have two different maps for self guided tours. We didn't have that much time before he had to get going, so we just walked around the museum and down the hill and across the bridge. Again, BEAUTIFUL and to know you are standing where such an important and historic battle was fought gave us goosebumps. They have statues and monuments all around, next time we will have to allot more time so we can really take our time and read about each one. They have ample picnic tables and even grills to make it a day. We did manage to make it to the play ground. It's small but clean and j believe they offered bathrooms in the building next to it. We had just went in the main museum so we didn't have to go. This...

Beautiful grounds with a very nice, informative museum. We visited on a weekday. The museum shop was closed, seems it’s only open on Sundays). There are lectures and battlefield tours, check their website for the schedule. We had a nice visit - ate lunch at one of the outdoor picnic tables, then toured the exhibits. A few interactive ones need repair. A 10 minute movie is available for viewing. There are “no photographs” signs as you enter the exhibit, which is a pity, as the exhibits are well done and informative. It would have been nice to share photos, and I do home they reconsider. The battlefields are well maintained, and beautiful. Maps are available for self tours. Accessible ♿️ visitor center, with wide even pathways outside. We didn’t venture onto the fields, not sure how easily one can access them. Perfect place to walk, hike, bike - and learn a little history. Good for children and...

This is a truly great opportunity to put into context the American Revolution. Seen by many as a turning point in the war, the historical significance is deep. Further, the park itself is great for day hikes, bike riding, picnics and trail running. There are also an abundance of places to eat near by, but why not just grab a few sandwiches from a deli and spend the afternoon chilling out while pondering what it must have been like to sacrifice all you had for an ideal that was not totally understood...yes Washington slept here and yes this is where Molly Pitcher roamed and yes it is also where over 600 people gave their lives for you...even though they...
