Glen Gardner, NJ

Glen Gardner is a small Hunterdon County borough of 1,900 people nestled along the South Branch Raritan River in western New Jersey's rolling hills. Take Route 31 north from I-78 for the main approach, or use scenic Route 513 from the west through farm country. The area draws cyclists and leaf-peepers to its winding rural roads. The 1750 Solitude House Museum, a former stagecoach stop on the old New York-Philadelphia route, anchors the town's historic character.
