Historic Walnford

"Immaculate grounds, beautiful buildings and surroundings, and a lovely atmosphere. We happened to stumble across it and are so glad we did. Cannot wait to come back and check out more, especially the main house!"

"This is absolutely hands down one of the best Country House/ Family Farm / Retreat restorations inside and out, I have every visited in the State of New Jersey! Dating back to before the birth of the nation. The owner being a Loyalist that somehow after his release from prison at the end of the Revolution, was able to maintain ownership of this estate. I can think of no other (not that there is not another example) estate/farm that a Loyalist was able to keep after England lost the war, that has been restored and made a park. At time of this visit not only was there a large selection of furniture, photos, and much more original to house, there was also an outstanding WW1 exhibit on the second floor. All the outbuildings including the mill have also been fully restored and contain a awesome collection of time period everything. This Park literally offers so much you really need hours to absorb it all. Handicap friendly parking available and the entire park is ADA compliant as it can be, IMO. There are bathrooms and a water fountain. You will find no gift shop. At time of this visit there was a bridge under repair on the other side of the park that may throw your GPS off. I have included only photos of the interior of the home at this time. I will be adding photos of the grounds and all out buildings including the mill at a future date. Also I would like to mention the park staff are friendly and professional. Everyone has their own experiences and opinions. This one is mine."

"Historic Walnford has the potential to become a truly memorable destination for all who visit. It is a place where people can enjoy the sights, sounds, and aromas of a charming area while exploring its rich cultural, historical, and architectural history."

"Lovely and interesting historic site. Was very impressed with the structures and how clean and well maintained everything was. We commended the rangers on a job well done! Stopped by on a weekday, and it was very quiet. However, they do demonstrations in the mill on the weekends and during special events."

"Really nice place! I'm local and never knew this was nearby. It's a beautifully maintained park with a number of interesting historic structures. It was fascinating to go inside and see the inner workings of the old mill!"
