Visitor Tips

Do not assume a “Princeton” mailing address is outside Montgomery; check the municipality when visiting a local business.
Many parks and pathways are open from dawn to dusk; follow posted regulations.
Seasonal deer-management activity may occur on some open-space parcels.
Route 206 traffic can be heavy at commuting times, so allow extra travel time.
For historic sites and museums, confirm public hours before making a special trip.
