Boxwood Hall State Historic Site
Boxwood Hall State Historic Site is one of New Jersey's most significant pre-Revolutionary landmarks, a Georgian-style home built in 1750 that once belonged to Elias Boudinot, a president of the Continental Congress and the first director of the United States Mint. George Washington visited here on his way to his first presidential inauguration in 1789. The site is operated by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry and is open for guided tours.
It sits in the heart of Elizabeth's historic district, making it a natural anchor stop for history-focused group itineraries that also include the nearby First Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth, the oldest English-speaking congregation in New Jersey. Charter bus drop-off uses the East Jersey Street frontage; call ahead to the site at 908-576-4340 to coordinate group arrival logistics before your visit.
