New Hanover Visitor Guide
Visiting & Lodging
Plan a visit to Cookstown, the General Godfrey House area, local parks and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, with verified in-town lodging.
New Hanover Township
Cookstown · Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst · rural Burlington County
What to See & Do
Small historic crossroads community with local eateries, services and traditional village character.
Township recreation area with active and passive amenities.
A defining part of the township's landscape. Public access is controlled and visitors should follow current base access procedures.
In-Town Lodging
Limited-service hotel near the Joint Base area and Cookstown's restaurant corridor.
Nearby lodging: Additional hotels and motels are available in Wrightstown and other surrounding communities, but they are outside New Hanover Township and are not counted as in-town lodging.
Getting Around
Primary local route through the public business and dining area.
Useful regional connection, but municipal boundaries change quickly along the Cookstown area.
Do not assume a local road or facility on the installation is open to the general public.
Most destinations provide their own surface parking; observe posted restrictions.
Visitor Planning
New Hanover is best approached as a small historic rural community rather than a conventional tourism center. It works well for visitors with business at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, family connections in Cookstown, local dining stops, or an interest in Burlington County history.
