That really was nice Ben. Great day for photos, and good ones too..all crisp and clear. Makes me want to go up there and have a bite to eat in one of those taverns.
Walnford has a lot of programs and things that I think folks here would enjoy. Every so often they fire up the grist mill for a behind the scenes demonstration of how it works. I'm probably going to try to arrange for something for NJPB members.
Great article-I spent many afternoons fishing at Walnford as a kid. We used to call it "Ghost Town" before the park system fixed it all up. I recommend the Chesterfield Inn by the way-not too far outside of Crosswicks.
Nice. Besides hiking and camping and canoeing in the Barrens I used to go on long bicycle trips in south central NJ on into PA. I used to like it around Princeton before the roads got too busy. Cranbury was my favorite starting place. Crosswicks was sometimes on my route. Another Meeting House - the Yellow Meeting House on Yellow Meeting House Road in Millstone, NJ, I think- was also one of my favorite places.
Ben, the next time your in Crosswicks, take a minute and drive down Mill Road. Look towards the water as you make the ninety degree turn. You can still see the foundation, flume and dam for the mill. This link is for those who might be interested in learning more...
