New Jersey Ghost Towns

New Jersey’s ghost towns are a surprise to many visitors who associate the state with its urban corridors. The Pine Barrens alone contain dozens of abandoned bog iron towns, glass works communities, and mill villages that thrived in the 18th and 19th centuries and were left behind as industry moved on. The state’s industrial history also produced abandoned factory towns and canal communities that reward the explorer who looks beyond the highway.
