Historic Cold Spring Village brings to life the day-to-day activities of villagers living in South Jersey during the "age of homespun" (1789–1840). Visitors are able to make a personal connection between the past and present through the interactive, educational, and hands-on family activities.
Take a stroll along 30 acres of shaded lanes, enjoy the gardens, and observe the farm where heritage crops are grown. Visit 26 restored historic buildings housing historically clothed interpreters who educate and entertain visitors about the lifestyles, issues, trades, and crafts of yesteryear.
Children enjoy playing at the activity area where they take part in a variety of projects. These include trying on costumes, participating in hands-on crafts, and playing games.
