Waterloo Village (currently closed)
The restored
village, which is located on the banks of the Morris Canal, is well known for its historic buildings
and diverse cultural programs of classical and popular music as well as dance and opera. Waterloo Village takes the visitor through time from a recreated 400-year-old Lenape
(Delaware) Indian village ro a bustling port along the once prosperous Morris Canal. This early 19th-century restored village contains a working mill complex with gristmills and sawmills, a general store, blacksmith shop and several historic houses. Classical and popular music programs are presented during the summer months.
Allamuchy Natural Area (2,440 acres)
The Mature mixed oak and hardwood forests and numerous maintained old fields of this natural area display various stages of succession and forest development. Many trails traverse the natural area and provide access to scenic Deer Park Pond, which is centrally located within the area.
