On March 24, 1782, Toms River was attacked by a raiding party of Tories (Americans who remained loyal to the British in the Revolutionary War).
The raiding party attacked the blockhouse here, and burned the village of Toms River. Only two houses survived. Joshua Huddy, who commanded the blockhouse, was captured.
Joshua Huddy Park contains a replica of the original blockhouse, along with several explanatory markers.
A short walk up Robbins Street leads to the site of the original Block House. (See next entry below.)
The attack is only one part of interesting Joshua Huddy’s Revolutionary War story. The whole story can be found in the Captain Joshua Huddy’s Homestead Site entry on the Colts Neck page. [1]
