You are welcome to cool off in the Discovery Center at Point Breeze after the trip to discover our historic gardener’s house turned into a museum after preservation in 2020. Farmer Rob practices the Three Sisters indigenous planting method at St Michael’s Farm. Visit our historic garden that also uses this technique at Point Breeze in Bordentown!
