The Cross Estate Gardens offer a peaceful glimpse into an early 20th-century landscape inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. Winding paths lead through formal and native plant gardens, a wisteria-covered pergola, and a mountain laurel allée, with mature specimen trees anchoring the grounds. A self-guided walk highlights historic trees and their importance to both Native Americans and early settlers. Beautiful in every season, the gardens invite visitors to slow down and explore a thoughtfully preserved landscape cared for by the New Jersey Historical Garden Foundation in partnership with the National Park Service.
