A Long Road in the Pinelands.

Forest of southern New Jersey. While the original iron furnace is gone, the remains of later industrial uses and some foundations are still visible. The site is a popular destination for hikers and history enthusiasts

Road to know where and Hampton Furnace ghost town of New Jersey

A Hampton road has a great vanishing point for those who like the optical illusion.

• Iron production: Established as an iron furnace in the 18th century, the village produced bog iron from the surrounding Pine Barrens. The site was one of many such furnace villages in the region, including the nearby Martha’s Furnace. By the mid-19th century, the era of iron production in the area was ending.
• Cranberry industry: After the iron works closed, the location was redeveloped for a cranberry bog and sorting plant, a thriving industry in the region in the early 20th century.
• Decline and abandonment: The village’s fortunes eventually faded. An armed robbery in 1916 on the cranberry company’s owners and a subsequent gun battle likely foreshadowed the town’s ultimate decline.

I’m looking forward to more Pine Barren adventures to create some fine art.
