Visit Batsto Village

South Jersey's Batsto is a surprisingly well-preserved medieval village that dates to 1766. 30 maintained structures, including a magnificent mansion, a post office, and a basic shop, are available for viewing by visitors to this exceptional location in Hammonton. The Batsto Iron Works produced supplies for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and the village's inhabitants remained there up until 1989.

Batsto, which is a part of Wharton State Forest, also has lovely hiking paths through the Pinelands. The calm, beauty, and history of the place have been noted by visitors who were thrilled to discover this monument in the heart of the forest, particularly in mid-May when the tulips are in full bloom. On the hour, Wednesday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., tours are offered for $3 per person ($1 for children ages 6 to 11; tours are free for children under 5). Tours have a 10-person maximum and fill up quickly. It is one of the best things to do in New Jersey.
