Freehold is the county seat of Monmouth County and one of the most historic towns in New Jersey. Whether you live here or are visiting family, there is plenty to see.
Monmouth Battlefield State Park
On June 28, 1778, George Washington’s army met the British at the Battle of Monmouth — one of the largest battles of the American Revolution. Today the battlefield is a state park with walking trails, open farmland and a visitor center, and it hosts living-history events that bring the battle to life.
Historic sites around the battle
- Old Tennent Church — served as a field hospital after the battle; the churchyard is a peaceful stop for history lovers
- Covenhoven House — headquarters of British General Sir Henry Clinton before the battle
- Historic Walnford — an 18th-century house and working grist mill in nearby Upper Freehold

Bruce Springsteen’s hometown
Bruce Springsteen grew up in Freehold Borough and graduated from Freehold Borough High School in 1967. Fans come from around the world to see the places that shaped songs like “My Hometown.”
Shopping and family fun
Freehold Raceway Mall on Route 9 is one of the largest shopping centers in the region, and indoor entertainment centers nearby keep kids busy on rainy days.
Getting around
Freehold has NJ Transit bus service to Manhattan but no train station of its own — the nearest rail stations are on the North Jersey Coast Line, such as Aberdeen-Matawan. For airports, stations and nights out, a local car service is often the easiest option.
