Historic Cold Spring Village
An open-air historic village museum with 26 relocated old buildings recreating rural life in 19th-century South Jersey.
The village includes a blacksmith shop, carpentry workshop, school, general store, and farmhouses. Guides in period costume demonstrate crafts such as weaving, blacksmithing, and broom making, making it a good choice for families with children. In summer, weekend events such as Civil War reenactments and craft markets are common, and the grounds have a brewery and restaurant. Admission is about $15.
