A growing number of New Jersey’s Revolutionary War-era historic sites are attracting and informing visitors with distinctive Crossroads of the American Revolution signage. Featuring the six-pointed star used in the original United States flag, Crossroads signage raises awareness of New Jersey’s deep Revolutionary War heritage through a prominent identity that makes it easier for tourists and residents to discover history across the state. Crossroads is working to place the signs in advance of the national celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026.

Heritage tourism is a key economic driver for New Jersey, and the state’s extensive Revolutionary War history is an asset that’s yet to be leveraged to its fullest extent. Unifying local Revolutionary heritage sites across the state with common branding will make it easier for visitors to put sites into context with New Jersey’s contributions to the fight for independence.

A variety of signage options are available, including wayfinding markers, interpretive signs, map kiosks and more. View the Crossroads signage brochure for samples.
