Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. - Abraham Lincoln

Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. -  George Washington

We believe it is your moral duty to have some fun in Warren County! With temperatures expected to hit 60 degrees over the long Presidents' Day weekend, why not get outdoors for a nice hike? Here are a few suggested trails courtesy of Skylands Visitor.  Ironically, Hackettstown hosts a Winterfest, as well as a world premiere play.

And there is even more live music than usual this weekend, of all different genres. So have fun exploring Warren County, and Happy Wanderings!
