Bear Swamp Hill

  • 02/22/2007

It’s not really what’s at Bear Swamp Hill, because honestly there isn’t all too much to see – it’s moreso learning what happened there and then finding the remaining bits of evidence. In January of 1971, a plane coming from the McGuire Air Force Base crashed into the...

White City Amusement Park Ruins

  • 01/21/2006

Through geocaching I heard about a place called White City, an amusement park outside Trenton which closed in our around the 1930’s. A trolley would ride in from Trenton and drop people off, and they’d descend a large set of stairs to Spring Lake. The park had several...
