Old Dutch New Year “Candlemas” Winter Walk
NJ, United StatesGet outdoors on a February afternoon with a winter 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 winter sun sets. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear and bring water. This "Candlemas" Winter Walk was originally scheduled for New Year's Day as one of over 40 "First Day Hikes" offered across New Jersey State Parks, Forests & Historic Sites as part of a national initiative of America's State Parks.
