The Battle Of Monmouth

In April I reported that the Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine (D), has slated 9 of our State Parks to close or reduce their services, as part of his State Budget cuts. Of particular concern to me was Monmouth Battlefield State Park. The park is set on the site of The Battle of Monmouth that took place during the American Revolutionary War. In the time since, I have written about how the concerned citizens of New Jersey were able to get Governor Corzine to keep his mitts off of our State Parks. Today my family and I spent all day at Monmouth Battlefield Park where they held the annual reenactment of that pivotal Revolutionary War Battle. As usual it was fantastic and enjoyed by children and adults alike. The park was packed, in no small part due to the fact that we almost lost the Park to the Governor's budget ax. The reenactment is also done tomorrow on Sunday around 1PM. If you are in the Central New Jersey area and are so inclined, check it out. You will not be disappointed.
