The State President's Project is: to raise funds for the Bergen County Historical Society for their new museum and to raise awareness of the New Bridge Landing Site.

The Bergen County Historical Society, the primary land owner of the New Bridge Landing site, is currently raising funds for a new museum to house more of its artifacts from this site.  There are three historic buildings, the Steuben House, the Campbell Christie house, and the Demarest house at the New Bridge Landing site.  General George Washington and the Continental Army retreated across the Hackensack River at the New Bridge Landing site in November of 1776 while being pursued by General Cornwallis and his troops.
