Gloucester County Unveils New Driving Tour Exploring the 1781 Battle of the Hook

The Gloucester Museum of History proudly announces the launch of the Battle of the Hook Driving Tour, a new self-guided driving tour exploring the events, people, and key sites of the Battle of the Hook, the largest cavalry engagement of the American Revolution and a crucial Franco-American victory. The tour brochure is available at the Museum of History and Gloucester Visitor Center, at no cost, and an online version is also available.

The driving tour guides visitors to pivotal locations throughout Gloucester County, including the historic Tavern at Gloucester Courthouse (now the Gloucester Museum of History), Ware Episcopal Church, Abingdon Episcopal Church, and Seawell’s Ordinary. Each site reveals how local landscapes became strategic military positions during the final campaign for American independence.
