SUMMARY:D&R Canal Walk to Rockingham
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in a morning walk to Rockingham State Historic Site – General Washington’s last wartime headquarters? Then plan to join our seasonal historian for a weekday morning walk beginning at the Kingston Lock/Bridge House then along the canal to Rockingham. In addition to learning about the D&R Canal attendees will visit two historic homes along the way – The Kingston Lock/Bridge House and Rockingham. The group will walk along the canal’s bermside/railroad path and then hike up to Rockingham where they will be given a guided tour of the grounds and house by the site historian. \nThis will be a program packed with a variety of stories such as the surviving Millstone River powered grist mill that encouraged settlement in the area almost a century prior to the Revolutionary War\, the local taverns established along the main stage coach route between Philadelphia and New York City\, the bridge that played a role in the Revolutionary War and its 1798 stone arched replacement\, the events of the Revolutionary War that impacted the area and the part Rockingham played in the conflict\, the town that developed in the 19th century due to the D&R Canal’s construction and of course the canal itself. It promises to be a narrative rich program you don’t want to miss so mark the date and plan to join us! \nThose planning to participate are asked to meet at the Kingston parking lot promptly at 10 a.m. Be prepared for a 2-mile round-trip walk lasting about 2 ½ hours. Dress for the weather\, wear comfortable hiking shoes\, bring water and join us for this informative round-trip walk.
