Frelinghuysen Tavern Site
213 East Main Street
South Bound Brook, NJ

“This Tablet marks the site of the Frelinghuysen Tavern
Hendrick Harpending , a shoemaker from Holland, built his home circa 1729, which later became a tavern, owned by his son , Peter.
Soon after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776, the townspeople assembled on the street in front of this tavern to hear it read by their neighbor, Hendrick Fisher of South Bound Brook President of the Provincial Congress of New Jersey , Member of the Committee of Safety and an “Enemy of the Crown” excluded from the general amnesty offered the rebellious colonists earlier that year.
‘ Upon completion of the reading the crowd went wild with joy, carrying Fisher on their shoulders through the village, while the Presbyterian Church bell range loud and long, cannons fired, and rousing toasts were drunk by the lusty patriots gatherer there.’
Erected by the Somerset County Historical Society 1960″

Facility no longer exists, but there is a plaque on the current business.

Hi,

I just came across the Perryville Inn on Perryville Rd in Perryville, NJ.
near Exit 12 on Rt 78 just west of Clinton.
In 1812 it was named after Commodore Perry, the hero of Lake Erie.

I have added (I think) the Rocky Hill Inn c. 1745 to the pub crawl map. Today, RHI is one of the finest restaurants in the Princeton area.

The Tise/Tice/Eagle Tavern was on the SW corner of Bergen and Glenwood, just about centerpoint of today’s Jersey City. There’s a good web page at http://www.njcu.edu/programs/jchistory/Pages/T_Pages/Tise_Tavern.htm

The Three Pigeons is a bit harder to specify exactly, since the streets have changed so much over time as North Bergen developed in the 20th century, but it was along the Hackensack Plank Road, now (also/offically) known as Bergen Turnpike and/or County Rt. 691, between the Weehhawken Cemetery and (what is now) Liberty Ave. Roghly where Garnd Ave. hits Bergen Tpk. (north side of the latter).
