The Cedar Bridge Tavern is a historic building located in the New Jersey Pine Barrens in Barnegat Township.

On December 27, 1782, forces for the new republic led by Captains Richard Shreve and Edward Thomas were informed that notorious Loyalist John Bacon was in the vicinity of the tavern.

[2] According to a 1981 survey by preservationists working with the New Jersey Office of Cultural and Environmental Services, the Cedar Bridge Tavern was estimated to have been built around 1740 close to a stage coach route between Camden and the Jersey Shore.

The wood-sided tavern with the long front porch has served as a hotel, restaurant and bar for travelers.

[4] Ocean County is spending $2.2 million to refurbish and develop the site, including building a caretaker's cottage and an outdoor classroom facility.
