    Explore the great state of New Jersey, from the capital of Trenton to the Crossroads, from the Pine Barrens to the Watchungs, from the Lower Delaware to the popular shore. New Jersey has it all—history, culture, nature, industry, and fun! Children and their families will love learning about the amazing past and present of America’s third state. They can even use it as a guide for trips to all the great sites in New Jersey. Stand on the spot where George Washington stood after crossing the Delaware to fight for American independence. Visit the Cowtown Rodeo in Woodstown for a whoop and a holler. Grab a hammer and mine for your own minerals at the Franklin Mineral Museum. Travel north to south, east to west–—you’ll never run out of amazing things to see and do in New Jersey.
    Linda J. Barth is a retired fourth-grade teacher who lives in Somerville, New Jersey. She is very active in the Canal Society of New Jersey, one of the largest historical societies in the state.

    Capital Idea
     
    Our gold dome gleams in the afternoon sun
    and shows where a major battle was won.
    Patriot’s Week is loads of fun.
    Meet Thomas Paine and Washington.
     
    John A. Roebling opened his wire-rope factory in Trenton and made cables for many suspension bridges and aqueducts. The Brooklyn Bridge is his company’s most famous creation.
     
    The state seal has three plows and a horse to remind us that farming is New Jersey’s heritage. Liberty, carrying a liberty cap, and Ceres, holding a horn of plenty, stand on either side.
     
    The Grounds for Sculpture, in Hamilton, feature 3-D versions of French Impressionist paintings! Stroll the grounds and have a picnic among these fascinating sculptures.
