According to the National Park Foundation, the site is home to Native American archaeological sites. Some structures remain from early Dutch settlement and the colonial contact period. Additionally, there are historic rural villages on the New Jersey side.

“No state is the same, and each has its stars, the kind of sights that make you catch your breath and nearly veer off the highway,” Conde Nast writes. The magazine writes that the list “only scrapes the surface” of what the U.S. has to offer, so consider it as a starting point.
