I got a personal tour from one of the volunteers at the museum. They have a nice collection of artifacts dating back to the 1600's from all over the county. Their collection of toy trains is impressive. They were once made in Mantua by Tyco. The glass collection is amazing too. Well organized and visually interesting.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This is a cool place. At this location was Strangers Burial Ground. A burial ground for people not aligned with a religious affiliation or died while traveling through the area. The burial ground also included hundreds of Hessian Soldiers that were moved to Woodbury about 100 years after the Battle of Red Bank in 1777 in which a largely out numbered American Revolutionaries defended and defeated a British/Hessian Attack on Fort Mercer along the Delaware River. Thanks in part by the help of young Jonas Cattell who warned Col Green of the impeding surprise attack. The Strangers Burial Ground was moved to Deptford Strangers Burial Ground in 1854 as Woodbury grew. All of the Hessian Soldiers were moved to Deptford Strangers Burial Ground by 1914.
Amazing collection of artifacts found in the area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
