The Kingston Lock/Bridge Tender’s House is ready for the holiday season and is ending 2023 looking fresh and renewed thanks to the continued support of the Canal Society of New Jersey who again worked in partnership with the Kingston Historical Society to fund and complete this much needed exterior makeover.  We are also grateful to the excellent work done by Jerry Clark and his crew at Final Touch Painting who made time in their busy schedule to get this project completed before the colder weather arrived. The historic house looks amazing! We couldn’t be more pleased.

The park extends its gratitude and thanks to both partner organizations who remain committed in their support of the D&R Canal State Park’s mission of stewardship. We never tire of saying that it is with the help and support of our affiliated groups that much needed projects such as this can be addressed. Our partners are always looking to recruit new members so if you have a passion for the D&R Canal, local history or any of the natural resources and trails managed by the park then consider becoming an active volunteer with one of our many friends groups. Get off the bench, get involved and become a D&R Canal State Park stewardship champion! New members and volunteers are ALWAYS needed and welcome!
