    So much history and importance to the area. You can see so many parts of the mansion. Well worth the tour.

    Went on a self guided vidit with Bridgewater Seniors. There is a Docent in every room, sometimes 2 or 3 to explain and expound. Wonderful museum, home, that was donated by a very rich family to the State of New Jersey. Used by the governor for overnight stays and official meetings.

    It was a nice visit, enjoyed the foyer and family portraits and history told there most with in depth details, followed by back enclosed patio overlooking the garden.

    The Holidays at Drumthwacket 2019 are the Best!! Please go online and register for free tickets. Every year, the talented members of the New Jersey Garden Cub decorate using fresh arrangements and greenery that compliment the architecture and decor of each public room....truly amazing! This year the chef prepared crumb cake and ginger snaps accompanied by mulled NJ apple cider and hot chocolate...way delicious!! I belong to the Allentown Garden Club and we decorated the Governor's Study...make sure you visit this outstanding room.

    The docents were very friendly and informative. My students enjoyed every room of the tour and especially the treat at the end. Highly recommend to any 4th grade classes in NJ.

👍👍 Beautiful church on campus. Definitely recommend walking thru. The stain glass is so beautiful. There are restrooms to the right as you walk in as well. Which is helpful to know when out and about exploring.
