Enjoy a December trip to this historical Village in the New Jersey Pinelands during the December Winterfest, Very nice family outing with carriage rides, and carolers in historic customs. The docent informed us that there was evidence of prehistoric life there thousands of years ago. The current village dates back to the iron works of Charles Read in1766 followed by John Cox ownership when supplies were made for the Revolutionary Army.. In 1779 John Ball became the owner followed by his uncle William Richards.followed by his son Jesse then his sonThomas .Under Thomas in the late 1800s the iron production was changed to glass works .This endeavor failed and in 1876 Joseph Wharton, Quaker from Philadelphia for whom the Wharton School of business of the University of Pennsylvania is named, purchased the property from receivership sale. He developed agricultural concerns, improved he village ,residencies, and the mansion where is family summered. he tried to develop transfer of clean water from the property to Philadelphia but the NJ legislature passed law , still in existence, that water from NJ could not be transferred out of state. After his death the property was managed by the Girard Trust until the state purchased it in 1954.

Autumn Lake Winery

With vineyards established in 2012 and the small winery that followed, Autumn Lake Winery was born with the singular ambition of creating wines of superior quality from grapes grown on our own cultivation. Our clay and gravel-laced soils provide the ultimate conditions for wine grapes. Grown above the lakes where little else can flourish, all of our vines enjoy a view of the water. It provides cold weather moderation and warm weather breezes, perfect for slow and steady ripening. Part science, part nature and part passion, good wine is made in the vineyard. You may choose to pack a lunch and enjoy an afternoon overlooking the lakes, forests and vineyards. Stroll the miles of walking trails and take in the natural beauty and perhaps spot some of the native wildlife. Or you can simply have a tasting or purchase wine. Follow along with us on Facebook and Instagram @autumnlakewinery to watch us grow, and stay updated with our events schedule and wine trail weekend hours.

Checked out this lovely winery this weekend for their Spring Fling Festival. Beautiful spot, excellent wine (especially the Tortuga). The staff was very friendly, which is important to me. The ladies pouring samples (Diane, Brigid and Ange) were happy to explain things, and Mike was always helpful answering our random questions! We had a great time, the food was delicious, the live music was great... we'll definitely be back!

Wharton State Forest

This outdoor recreational area has rivers for canoeing and fishing, 500 miles of unpaved roads for mountain biking and horseback riding, and scenic trails for hiking and viewing wildlife.

Reviewed By ITRT

We stopped at the Visitors Center prior to touring nearby Batsto Village. This is where you should stop if you are looking for information on canoeing, hiking trails, mountain biking and camping. Take the time to visit the displays in the museum to learn about the nearby Batsto Village’s history. Exhibits show the growth of the village and surrounding natural resources. I learned the quilt on display dates back to 1865. The library has a collection of books relative to south Jersey history iron making, glass production and Pine Barrens known got its sandy and nutrient-lacking soil. There is a gift shop for those looking for souvenirs. Pick up a brochure here prior to visiting the village. Those who choose to camp in the area may pick up registration forms. Clean restrooms are available too. The center is open daily from 9 am to 4 pm daily.
