RevolutionNJ, also known as RevNJ, is the State of New Jersey's official effort to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. A partnership between the non-profit Crossroads of the American Revolution Association and the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the New Jersey Department of State, RevNJ offers a variety of resources and programs for the general public and for organizations.

RevNJ intends to advance the role that history plays in public discourse, community engagement, education, tourism, and scholarship in New Jersey. Through a series of initiatives that explore the history of the American Revolution, its context, and its legacy, RevNJ engages and educates diverse audiences statewide.
