Located in Stanhope, NJ is one of my all time favorite places in northern New Jersey. The beautiful, scenic canal town that is now a living museum is astounding in every way. No matter the day, season, weather or time the village is a stunning blast from the past. Slowly being restored by the State Park's Department, the village can be seen brimming with life during the school season as kids come to learn not only about the Canal Town but also about the Lenape Village which is a reconstruction of what life would have been like for the Native American's that had lived in these neck of the woods.
Wildlife abound, you could find a turtle emerging from the canal or vernal pool in hopes of finding a nice spot to lay her eggs or foxes scampering about looking for its next meal.
Check it out, it is absolutely gorgeous any season, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be fall. With the leaves changing the place looks wonderful!
Note the building are open on the weekends throughout the summer. There is a $5.00 parking fee only on weekends.
