The grant will help fund the research, preparation and marketing of a themed audio tour on Gloucester County sites that are associated with the Revolutionary War. The tour materials will be available as pod casts for downloading from the South Jersey Tourism Corporation web site.   

Red Bank Battlefield and Whitall House are part of a 44-acre county park where the outnumbered Colonial Army in October 1777 defeated the Hessians, and the Quaker-owned home was used as a hospital after the fighting.  The Otto House was home to the first surgeon general in the Colonial Army.  Woodbury Friends meeting house is a 1715 structure used by both Colonial and English forces at different times during the war.  Trinity Old Swedes’ pastor documented in his diary the Gloucester County experience during the War.
