Red Barn Milk Co.
Kiran, Shaan and Bhavna were impressed with the strawberry ice cream that I picked up on my last visit to Red Barn Milk Co. located in the unincorporated community of Ringoes, located within East Amwell. That was in July. That's how much we don't eat take out during COVID times.
Yesterday we all felt like we needed "something". So, except for myself, I ordered pints of ice cream for each of us. I ordered a chilli dog, potato salad, and soft-serve strawberry ice cream cone for pickup. The ice cream is made with non-homogenized milk and cream from Brown Swiss and Holsteins cows at Hun-Val Dairy in Hunterdon County and is the only ice creamery in New Jersey using local dairy.
Double Brook Farm and Brick Farm Market supply the beef, bratwurst, hot dogs, chicken patties, veggie patties, rolls, buns and more. The ingredients are all locally sourced from New Jersey farms; mostly from Hunterdon, Mercer and Somerset Counties.
Ringoes is the oldest known settlement in Hunterdon County. John Ringo's Tavern on the old Old York Road in Hunterdon County was the meeting place for the Hunterdon Chapter of the Sons of Liberty which was formed in 1766.

The Kingston Bridge
The Kingston Bridge is the oldest in Somerset County and part of the Kingston Mill Historic District. During the American Revolutionary War, the previous bridge was destroyed by General George Washington to halt advancing British troops.
The Kingston Bridge is the oldest in Somerset County. The stone arch bridge carried New Jersey Route 27 over the Millstone River in Franklin Township. Part of the Kingston Mill Historic District has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986. During the American Revolutionary War, the previous bridge was destroyed by General George Washington to halt advancing British troops.
Dedicated in 1913, The Lincoln Highway ran east to west from Times Square in New York City to Lincoln Park in San Francisco. The highway, one of the earliest transcontinental roads in the United States, initially passed through 13 states, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California.
Until 1919, the Kingston Bridge carried part of the Old Lincoln Highway, which started at the New York Central Railroad's ferry terminal in Weehawken, New Jersey and followed a winding path through New Jersey to Trenton and over the Calhoun Street Bridge and the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. In 1927, the Lincoln Highway in New Jersey was assigned U.S. Route 1. Eventually, portions of the Old Lincoln Highway were subsumed or bypassed by Route 1 and Route 27.
