At the Blue Mountain Lake area in @delwatergapnps. Before the property was acquired for the failed Tocks Island Dam, a development of about 375 homes was built around the man-made lakes, fed by underground springs. The original plans were ambitious; 10,000 homes would be built and 3,000 acres of virgin land preserved for recreation. The homes, built between 1956 and 1969, were relocated or torn down after the federal government acquired the property. Roads were also laid out and some of them are trails around the lake today. You can also see telephone poles (some standing, some chopped down), remains of stone walls, and clearings where houses were located. Nearby Crater Lake (a natural lake) was also planned as a lake community. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #nps103 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #jerseycollective #njspots #delawarewatergap #OptOutside #FindYourPark #mydwgnra #smallparksaturday #nature #bluemountainlake (at Lower Blue Mountain Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_9xlojGPQ/?igshid=1c1tnxqspsdzk

An adit at the Pahaquarry Copper Mine at @delwatergapnps on the west side of Kittatinny Mountain in Hardwick Township, #NewJersey. This abandoned copper mine represents some of the oldest copper prospects in the eastern United States. It was mined for brief periods (1750-1760, 1829-1830, 1847-1848, 1861-1862, and 1901-1912) but was never successful. From 1925 to 1972, the area was a camp for the George Washington Council of the Boy Scouts of America. While researching, I found out that the @NationalParkService rangers gave tours of the mine tunnels until 1989, when it was deemed unsafe and the mine entrances were barricaded. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #nps103 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #jerseycollective #njspots #delawarewatergap #explorenj #OptOutside #FindYourPark #mydwgnra #smallparksaturday #newjersey #pahaquarry #coppermine (at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Taw_LDyIW/?igshid=16nrrfs7awao6

The Van Campen Farmhouse at Millbrook Village in @delwatergapnps. The home was built circa 1800 and moved to the village in 1974. In 1832, Abram Garis, a local farmer, built a grist mill along the newly-finished Columbia-Walpack Turnpike where it crossed a stream known as "Van Campens Mill Brook." By 1875, Millbrook had reached a peak of 75 inhabitants and about nineteen major buildings. Today's Millbrook does not replicate the Millbrook of the past. Rather, it evokes the feeling of countryside hamlets where most of the nation's people lived until around 1900. There are original structures in the village, along with other significant historic structures that were saved by the @NationalParkService and the Millbrook Village Society when the Tocks Island Dam project (never came to fruition) threatened low-lying areas. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #nps103 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #jerseycollective #njspots #delawarewatergap #explorenj #OptOutside #FindYourPark #mydwgnra #smallparksaturday #architecture #archi_ologie #millbrookvillage #vancampenfarmhouse (at Millbrook Village Society) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_LsVHajgzS/?igshid=1uqt71g9ed8oh

The Smith/Birchenough House located along Old Mine Road in Sandyston Township, #NewJersey. This property is part of @delwatergapnps. It was built by Daniel Smith after the Civil War. The last to occupy the dwelling and farm prior to the @NationalParkService assuming ownership were the late Arthur and Greita Birchenough, who last operated the farm in 1972. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #nps103 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #jerseycollective #njspots #delawarewatergap #OptOutside #FindYourPark #mydwgnra #smallparksaturday #architecture #archi_ologie #oldmineroad (at Old Mine Road, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8II8vhnItU/?igshid=1r1pfsk1axy51

The Losey-Robbins House in Walpack, #NewJersey part of @delwatergapnps. The home, built circa 1860, was originally the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Losey. Joseph and Edith Robbins sold the property to the federal government in 1974. In the late 1990s, @walpackhistory was given use of the house under an agreement with the @nationaparkservice. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #nps102 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #FYPyes #njspots #delawarewatergap #explorenj #OptOutside #FindYourPark #architecture #archi_ologie #walpacknj #walpak #oldhouselove (at Wallpack Center, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpS-UwHqdF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=121qovguvm9km
