This is the site of "The Affair At Cedar Bridge" - After searching several days for the notorious Capt. John Bacon, Capt. Richard Shreve of the Burlington County Light Horse and Capt. Edward Thomas of the Mansfield Militia stopped with their men to refresh themselves at the Cedar Bridge Tavern. Bacon and his band of loyalists, surprised the militia and blocked their escape. As the militia gained the advantage, they were fired upon unexpectedly by a party of locals who came to Bacon's aid and provided a diversion that allowed Bacon to escape. Among the Patriots, one was killed and four were wounded. Four loyalists were also wounded, including Capt. Bacon.
