Get outdoors in the afternoon on New Year's Day on this walk along historic Somerville’s Peters Brook Greenway and Main Street with brief stops for historical storytelling. We place Washington’s Headquarters Flags at two stone markers recalling George Washington’s passage through the area in early January 1777 and return for a brief festive open house at Old Dutch Parsonage as the sun sets on the first day of the new year. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear and bring water. N.J. State Park Service offers First Day Hikes across New Jersey’s State Parks, Forests & Historic Sites as part of a national initiative of America’s State Parks.
