Description
Batsto Village can be traced back to 1766. It is located in Wharton State Forest in Southern New Jersey. During the Revolutionary War years, Batsto manufactured supplies for the Continental Army. By the mid 1800's, iron production declined and Batsto became a glassmaking community known for its window glass.
New Jersey purchased the Wharton properties in the mid 1950's. The state began planning for the use and development of the property. The few people still living in the Village houses remained as long as they wanted. It was in 1989 that the last house was vacated. Today Batsto Village is a New Jersey Historic site and is listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places.
In spite of the fact that I love panoramic images, I usually forget that my Fuji camera does them. This day I remembered to do one. What you see here is a small part of the village.
