Most People Have No Idea Just How Unique This Village In New Jersey Truly Is
New Jersey has over a dozen different historic villages and numerous small towns overflowing with history and charm, but Whitesbog Village stands out for several reasons. There’s no place quite like it in the world.
Whitesbog encompasses 3,000 acres of abundant natural beauty.
Five buildings have been transformed into museums, with exhibits interpreting life during the village's peak - nearly 100 years ago. These museums are open during scheduled village tours, special programs and by appointment.
A worker's cottage has been furnished to reflect how it would have looked in the early 1900s. These buildings were originally designed for seasonal living and housed up to 4 families.
Who is Elizabeth White? Oh, only the New Jersey woman who first cultivated the blueberry. The first commercial crop of blueberries was harvested and sold in Whitesbog in 1916.
The calendar is always booked. Upcoming events include a family hike on the 13th, full moon hike on the 14th, Blueberry Music Jam on the 22nd and family game night on the 27th.
The biggest event is the annual blueberry festival, held in June. Enjoy food and craft vendors, live music, a pie eating contest, games, a Jersey Devil hunt and much more.
