Barbara and Jan ten Broeke officially accepting the Millstone Valley Scenic Byway national designation in Washington, DC.Among the 43 American byways that were granted National Byway designation by the US Department of Transportation were two local gems, the Millstone Valley Scenic Byway (a.k.a. Millstone Valley Scenic-Historic Corridor) and the Delaware River Scenic Byway. Jan and Barbara ten Broeke accepted the honor on behalf of the Millstone Valley Preservation Coalition which initiated and accomplished this wonderful achievement, ensuring that Central New Jersey heritage will be protected and enjoyed by generations to come.
The Millstone Valley Scenic/Historic Corridor (Scenic Byway) encompasses large expanses of open green space and nature preserves with wonderful hiking and biking trails. The Byway also protects an area of extensive historic continuity including Native American settlements, Dutch and Huguenot farms, Revolutionary War sites (Crossroads of the American Revolution and W3R), the Delaware & Raritan Canal, and much, much more!
So get out there and enjoy our local--and National!--treasures, and just imagine that one day, families in flying cars will be doing the same!
