The [[Stockton Street Historic District]] covers both sides of Stockton Street ([[County Route 571 (New Jersey)|County Route 571]]), from Railroad Avenue to Summit Street, and a portion of Rogers Avenue. It is notable for its [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]] homes, First Methodist Church, and the Hightstown [[American Civil War|Civil War]] monument. It is also significant for its association with the introduction of rail service to New Jersey, as the first railroad in the [[United States]] to connect two major cities, [[New York City|New York]] and [[Philadelphia]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kalmis|first1=Kenneth|title=Stockton Street Historic District|url={{NRHP url|id=05001331}}|website=National Register of Historic Places|publisher=National Park Service|date=June 1, 2004}}</ref> With the historical significance of Hightstown, in July 2015 it became a [[Preserve America]] community, aimed at enriching the community's historic preservation efforts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2015/07/which_nj_town_did_michelle_obama_name_a_preserve_a.html|title=Which N.J. town did Michelle Obama name a 'Preserve America' community?|author=|date=July 2015|website=NJ.com|access-date=October 21, 2017}}</ref>
