[From the Heritage Trail Association Website]
"The village of Middlebrook
was located just east of the Van Horne House in an area that is now the west end of Bound
Brook. During the encampment, General Washington dated all of his dispatches from Middlebrook even though his headquarters was in the Wallace House, five miles away.
A perfect opportunity for a weekend family outing, a visit to these historic sites offers a unique educational experience, for young and old alike to learn about these unique places and the generals who made them their homes and offices during the American Revolution."
