Similar to Huey Lewis & The News, you have the opportunity to go Back in Time just in Monmouth County and coming up this weekend!

A Weekend in Old Monmouth takes places on Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7 and it will allow you to explore 50 Monmouth County historic sites including museums and buildings, thanks to the Monmouth County Historical Commission.

"It's a wonderful opportunity for a family to visit the historical sites, whether in their own neighborhood or somewhere in another region of the county," John Fabiano, Executive Director of the Monmouth County Historical Commission said.

You don't need to go 88 mph in your vehicle to go back in time (and then Back to the Future), you just need to head to Monmouth County this coming weekend.

Fabiano explains that while many people know about the Battle of Monmouth during the Revolutionary War, there's some very interesting local history as well.

"There are other small historical societies that do a fantastic job of interpreting their local history," Fabiano said.

You can go at your own pace and hit however many sites as you want and in whatever order you want.

“A Weekend in Old Monmouth” tour will take place on Saturday, May 6, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and on Sunday, May 7, from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
