Bonnell's Tavern

An important historic gathering place for patriots seeking liberty and religious freedom, Bonnell's Tavern has stood at the crossroads of three municipalities for over two and a half centuries. Now vacant after the State of New Jersey acquired its land to construct Interstate 78, the tavern's legacy endures. For those intrigued by its history, Hank Bonnell, an eighth-generation direct descendant of the tavern's original innkeeper, will share the vibrant story of the tavern and the patriots who frequented it. In 2026, Hank will return to discuss his personal efforts to preserve and restore the tavern, along with his vision for its future.
