Almost opposite the Picnic Area (No. 10), intersecting with the east
side of the Jockey Hollow Road, is what has long been known as the Old
Camp Road (p. 20). This leads across Mount Kemble to the old Basking
Ridge Road, now Mount Kemble Avenue (U. S. Route 202), and to the site
of Jacob Larzeleer’s Tavern, where Brig. Gen. John Stark made his
quarters in 1779-80. Part of the road may have been built as the result
of orders issued to Stark’s and the New York Brigades, on April 25,
1780, to “open a Road between the two encampments.”
