High Point Monument - High Point State Park
The High Point Monument resides in Sussex, NJ at High Point State Park. The obelisk shaped monument is meant to represent the spot of the highest point in New Jersey. The elevation of the monument is 1,803 feet above sea level, and it overlooks the 16,000 acres of land that is a part of High Point State Park. Colonel Anthony R. and Susie Dryden Kuser from Bernardsville, NJ were the main contributors in the building of the monument. They donated the land for High Point State Park, and they funded the creation of the monument. The High Point Monument began being built in 1928 and it was completed in 1930. I have lived in this area all of my life, and I have been fortunate to have been able to visit the beautiful monument as many times as I have. More information about the monument can be found here.
