Vineland Speedway lies virtually forgotten just off the road. Now a popular paintball area, this was once home to a half-mile oval track, a quarter-mile dragstrip, and a 1.5 mile road course. Supposedly bleachers can still be found at the far end; I did not look for them....
This is a place I’ve been meaning to get to for a few years now; this is the only remaining drive-in theater left in New Jersey. It closed in the late 80’s and was reopened in 2004. I wanted this to be my first drive-in experience. Unfortunately, time...
Probably one of the least visited and least known ghost towns in southern New Jersey, Fries Mill can be found in the Manumuskin River Preserve. The “official” way to get to it involves a 1.25 mile hike, though it seems there’s a way for ATV’s and dirt bikes...

After finding the Futuro House near Rancocas, I learned there was a second in Greenwich – the same town where the Tea Party Monument is. This one was much more like the one I remembered seeing in Seaside so many years ago; for starters, it’s much bigger than...
Most Americans know what the Boston Tea Party was, but not many are aware the act was not unique to Boston. Nope, there were a couple of “tea parties”, one happening in southern NJ. In 1774, a year after the defiance in Boston, a tea party happened along...
Note to self: Consider investing in waders. Thompson’s Beach, much like Seabreeze or Grassy Sound, was a tiny little-known town on the water. The road leading out to is was surrounded by marsh and was difficult to upkeep. Eventually the township decided maintaining a lone road that led...
Another bridge oddity, although this one is more unique than the first we found. Located in Mauricetown, this bridge has been turned into somewhat of a park…..well, what’s left of it anyway. A lone picnic table is on the bridge. The other side of the bridge from the...
