- When: Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 10 a.m.
All veterans and community members are invited as the Legion honors those who have served.

Honoring All Veterans in Phillipsburg
- Town: Phillipsburg

- When: Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 11 a.m.
Phillipsburg’s Veterans Day service takes place at Shappell Park along South Main Street, and everyone is welcome. It is an outdoor ceremony, so dress for the weather. Since it starts an hour after the Hackettstown event, it is also an easy one to fit into a late morning off.

- When: Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Warren County Habitat for Humanity is honoring all who served with a Veterans Day brunch and live music at its Community Center in Washington. Organizers asked guests to RSVP by November 5, so reach out to Habitat before heading over to confirm there is still room. The Community Center hosts events all month, and its calendar is a good place to see what else is coming up.
Celebrate America at 250: Meet the Bald Eagle at Brook Hollow Winery
- Town: Columbia (Knowlton Township)
- Where: Brook Hollow Winery, 594 State Highway 94, Columbia
- When: Saturday, November 14, 2026, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

To celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary, Brook Hollow Winery is welcoming Col. Morgan, a bald eagle with a remarkable story, for an up close program on wildlife and American history. You will learn how the bald eagle became the national symbol, how its anatomy lets it fly, hunt and thrive, and the science of predator and prey relationships, told through stories gathered over 35 years of working with wildlife. It is a great outing for families and history fans, and the winery overlooks the Delaware Water Gap, so plan to linger for the view.
