Meet the East Jersey Old Town Village. Here, some original 18th and early 19th century buildings (as well as some partial remodels and complete replications) have been moved or reconstructed, and maintained as an open-air museum and market. Everything featured in this post is an original building, with the exception of the last picture, the Indian Queen Tavern, which is a partial reconstruction using pieces and materials from the original tavern.

The coolest trip we’ve taken so far was out to the (currently closed to the public!) Gingerbread Castle in Hamburg. Opening in 1930 as a theme park about the Brothers Grimm fairytales, the Gingerbread Castle remained popular until the mid 80’s. After the novelty had worn off, the castle was home to a nightclub and a haunted house, before shutting completely down in 2004. It’s been bought and sold several times over the years, with various rumored plans to restore it. Currently, it at least looks like the property is being somewhat maintained and parts of the park even look sort of restored. I know Humpty Dumpty had broken limbs a few years back, and doesn’t anymore, which is a promising sign for this cool New Jersey oddity.
