Pack your patience on this one, it could be a long day. This will be two short walks at a moderate pace. Starting with the Zoo and Bridgeton City park and the raceway and Potter's Tavern. Potter's Tavern is a historical building, not a bar or an eatery. We will then drive to Greenwich for a 2 mile walk to the Tea Burners Monument and Gibbons House.
