The Friends of the Jacobus Vanderveer House will host our 9th Annual Field of Honor® at River Road Park, Bedminster, NJ. The tribute will celebrate our nation’s independence, honoring all those who have proudly served our great country, with a beautiful display of over 200 American flags on the north field of the park along US highway 202/206, from Saturday, May 18 – Saturday, July 13, 2024!
Saturday, June 1, 2024, join our Field of Honor Celebration® from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm! The community is invited to stroll through the field of flags and tour the Jacobus Vanderveer House, including a model of the Pluckemin Cantonment, America’s 1st military academy. At 11:30 am Bedminster Mayor Larry Jacobs and the Bedminster Environmental Commission will plant a seedling from the Historic Salem Oak Tree – one of New Jersey’s most treasured trees for its size, longevity, and history. At 12:00 pm join us for a live performance by the White House Wind Symphony! Bring your chairs, and blankets and have a picnic. Admission is free, with a $10 suggested donation to tour the house.
