New Jersey
Located in the Mid-Atlantic, New Jersey was one of the original 13 colonies and played a pivotal role in the American Revolution when George Washington and his men crossed the cold, icy river into Trenton, New Jersey, a scene immortalized in the paining Washington Crossing the Delaware. The state neighbors New York City and Philadelphia and boasts 130 miles of Atlantic shoreline. The Jersey Shore is famous for its lively boardwalk, saltwater taffy, and amusement parks, making it a destination for all.
