The Washington Camp Ground Association owns a twenty-acre plot of land in the Watchung Mountains, just north of Bound Brook, where George Washington and his troops of the Continental Army encamped during the summer of 1777, and again in the winter of 1777-1778.
The Washington Camp Ground, located on Middlebrook Road in Bridgewater Township, just north of Route 22, was dedicated a historic site by local citizens in 1889, and entered the National Register of Historic Places July 3, 1975. The site is owned and preserved by the Washington Camp Ground Association, which also organizes the annual July 4 program at the site.
The Association is dedicated to preserving the land for educational and memorial purposes and to commemorate the struggle of the colonists for freedom and independence in the American Revolution.
