Overview

Explore over 18 beloved ghost towns in New Jersey through over 200 black and white and color photographs, historic vignettes, and touring information. These are some of the oldest and best-preserved ghost towns in America, from the Revolutionary Ironworks of Long Pond to the forgotten village of Chestnut Neck. Stop by Walpack Center, the loneliest and most remote town nestled in the corner of Northwest New Jersey. Visit Allaire Village, a wonderful excursion for the family with living history and live-steam train rides. See Whitesbog, a still-active Cranberry operation with a great general store. Discover the past and what led to the rise, fall, and preservation of these historic places. Packed with historic photographs, maps, and well-researched text, this is a tour you will want to take time and time again. Towns include Atsion, Batsto, Pleasant Mills, Feltville, Smithville, Double Trouble, Waterloo, Sandy Hook, Phalanx, Greenwich Landing, and more.
