Millbrook Village, Appalachian Trail

 

Millbrook Village is a picturesque recreation of a typical 19-century American community, nestled within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.  

The village offers a chance to step back in time and glimpse life in the 1800s.  It features restored homes a schoolhouse, a gristmill, and a church, all of which were either original to the area or relocated from within the park for preservation.

Many of these buildings, including a mill moved from another site, reflect the area’s history as a mill town, where residents were involved in agriculture, blacksmithing, and millwork, creating a thriving hub for local farming and trade.
