The New Jersey Pine Barrens currently presents an appearance of a vast, unspoiled wilderness. The region, however, once bustled with industrial and agricultural activity, centered in and around isolated, self-sufficient communities. Many of these all but vanished when the enterprises they depended on failed or ceased to operate. Others were better-preserved. We will visit some of these sites, learning about their history and viewing what evidence of the past can still be seen.
