Where Nature and History Converge: Mt. Mitchill Overlook

Join a Park System naturalist and historic interpreter for an on-site discussion about the fascinating history of Mt. Mitchill, a 12-acre County Park offering views of Sandy Hook Bay and the Manhattan skyline. The park is named in honor of Dr. Samuel Latham Mitchill (1764-1831), a renowned naturalist and botanist. We will discuss Mt. Mitchill’s unique geology, its relevance to Lenape settlements, Revolutionary War activities and its transition to a County Park in 1973. Since 2005, the site has been home to Monmouth County’s 9/11 Memorial honoring County residents who lost their lives. Visitors experience a memorial landscape featuring symbolic plantings that highlight an eagle sculpture.
