New Jersey’s Gift to America – July 4 Celebration

New Jersey’s Gift to America
Somerset County’s Gift to America
Bridgewater’s Gift to America
Middlebrook’s Gift to America
They all come on Independence Day

RAIN or SHINE – EVERY July 4th at 10:30 am – Join friends and family on Independence Day as the Washington Camp Ground Association honors the American flag, the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, and the reading of the Declaration of Independence. It’s a pure American celebration. We call it “Jersey’s Gift to America!”

Middlebrook is a tiny section of land recognized as part of Bridgewater, New Jersey, just south of Martinsville in Somerset County, New Jersey. It’s just north of Bound Brook. On a warm “almost summer day” on June 14, 1777, the Continental Army hoisted America’s first official flag after the Continental Congress approved the flag on June 14, 1777, known to America as Flag Day.

Please consider carpooling, walking, or biking if you can. (Parking is limited, and we’d like to reserve it for those who need it most.)
Ceremonies begin at 10 am.
