Produced by Warren County Regional
Chamber of Commerce
From flourishing farmland and panoramic views to notable
landmarks and abundant wildlife, Warren County is brimming
with beautiful things to see.
But that is only the beginning. The rich history and culture
that sustain this beauty is worth exploring even further.
When you visit one of Warren County’s many attractions,
you will be greeted by the people who dedicate their time
and talents to preserving history, protecting the environment,
cultivating fresh produce and promoting the arts and family
entertainment. Each has a story to tell.
In the pages of this guide, you will meet nature enthusiasts
who collect valuable data for wildlife preservation and a
museum director who reaches back into the past to enhance
the significance of a county landmark. You will read about a
tourist attraction that puts a popular face on a piece of history
and a group that brings you closer to the stars.
When you visit Warren County, you also can become acquainted
with our winemakers, learn the culinary and medicinal value
of herbs, discover what makes a hot air balloon fly or how
an organic farm is run. For a “classic” education, you can
check out the 2010 Car Shows and Cruise Nights. Whatever
you choose, you are guaranteed to come away with a richer
knowledge and – who knows – maybe a new interest or two.
So don’t just come to see Warren County. Come to know it.

Warren County
Business Awards
On the Right Track
H
“Thomas” is Top Tourist Destination
ow do you get the attention of 29,000 tourists? You start with a famous name and lovable
face and incorporate them into an event that kids of all ages can’t resist. “Day Out with
Thomas,” the winner of the Warren County Business Award for Tourism is sponsored by
Delaware River Railroad Excursions/New York Susquehanna & Western Technical and
History Society, and featured Thomas, everyone’s favorite tank engine.
“We are pleased to be recognized for our positive impact on both our customers and the community
in which we operate,” said Chris Cotty, General Manager of Delaware River Railroad Excursions.
The event consisted of a 25-minute excursion on a full-size Thomas the Tank Engine during which
riders enjoyed storytelling, live music and a chance to meet Sir Topham Hatt. It drew an amazing
crowd over the span of several weekends in July. According to Cotty, people from all over the United
States and as far away as Australia, Singapore and the Netherlands, were among those who started
the day with Thomas in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, a place many never knew existed until now.
The New York Susquehanna & Western Technical & Historical Society is a non-profit educational
society dedicated to the preservation of New Jersey’s railroad history. The society is primarily funded
by rail-excursion trips such as those run each year by Delaware River Railroad Excursions.

Eco-Tourism Enables Warren County to Preserve and Prosper
The better we understand something the more likely we are to take ownership of it–to nuture and
protect it. This is the premise on which Eco-Tourism is based. It contains within it the hope that while
we are enjoying our natural resources we are connecting to a broader view of how it is within our
power to cultivate–and educate–rather than to exhaust these treasures.
Warren County is host to thousands of visitors each year in addition to its residents who take advantage
of its diverse venues for hiking, fishing, boating, swimming and cross-country skiing as well as birding
and astronomy. The goal of eco-tourism is to connect these activities with their impact on the quality
of our life.
Afloat, on foot, or in flight
“The Creel Census gives us an idea of how the
fishery is doing,” explained Jim Mershon, Merrill
Creek’s on-site coordinator.
One of the most popular pastimes at Merrill Creek
is birding. With the potential to spot more than
200 different species per year, birders of all levels
of expertise patiently scan the water, woods and
sky observing the habits of native species and
hoping for a glimpse of something rare.
L
ocated on Scott’s Mountain in Washington,
New Jersey, Merrill Creek Reservoir
and Environ-mental Education Center
certainly has been blessed by Mother Nature in
its diversity of natural resources, habitats and
scenic beauty. A microcosm of the Northwest
New Jersey environment, the preserve features
a 650-acre reservoir for fishing, kayaking and
boating (electric motors only), surrounded by a
290-acre environmental preserve and 2000 acres
of woods and fields that attract hikers, nature
lovers and an devoted cadre of birders. On site
is an Environmental Education Center that helps
visitors relate what they see to how it affects their
environment.
The reservoir is a two-story fishery stocked with
cold-water trout and warm-water large and
small mouth bass. Anyone dropping a line into
the reservoir can become part of research project
known as a Creel Census, in which the fish that
are caught are counted, weighed, measured
and studied to determine the quality of their
environment.
“About two winters ago, we spotted a brown
pelican,” Mershon recalled. “This bird usually
is never found inland and we may never have
another one.”
Watching is not all that takes place at Merrill
Creek. According to Mershon, Scotts Mountain
has long been a migratory flyway for various
types of raptors including hawks, eagles, falcons
and osprey. As a member of the Hawk Migration
Association of North America, the center is a
designated hawk watch site from which data
on raptor migration patterns is collected and
recorded daily from September 1st to November
30th by a dedicated group of birders led by Henry
Kielblock.
Eileen Page of Phillipsburg, a retiree from Johnson
& Johnson has been a regular counter at Merrill
Creek since 2004. She has seen – and counted – her
share of raptors and has witnessed some unique
moments such as resident eagles attending to their
young in a nearby nest and the sighting of a rare
juvenile Northern Shrike. She hopes to someday
catch site of a Gyr Falcon that has yet to be seen
this far south.

Above and beyond
L
ate in the evening and far above the migrating
hawks, the sky over Warren County has its own
story to tell and visitors can understand it best from
the Greenwood Observatory at Jenny Jump State Forest in
Hope. Established by the United Astronomy Clubs of New
Jersey in 1992, the observatory sits 1,100 ft in elevation in
a setting with minimal light pollution for some of the best
views around. The observatory features a rollback roof that
exposes the 16-inch Newtonian telescope. From the first Saturday in April to the last Saturday in October,
the telescope is available free to the public along with a brief educational program to point out what there
is to see.
“People line up to see whatever happens to be up there,” said Ron Russo, member and former president
of UACNJ. “Jupiter and Saturn are especially pretty to look at.”
“It is the
biggest
telescope
east of the
Mississippi,”
Russo noted that the most impressive event he has witnessed is the Leonitz
meteor shower that peaks every 33 years enabling visibility of up to 1200
meteors an hour on a clear night.
Also situated on the property is the UACNJ office that includes meeting space,
a library, a museum housing a real meteorite and a lecture room that holds up
to 60 people. The outside area offers parking for about 40 cars.
An exciting new addition to the observatory is a 48-inch telescope installed
by the New Jersey Institute of Technology for the purpose of teaching
undergraduate and graduate students as well as for promoting the sciences
to the public.
The NJIT project will be using LIDAR (Light Detecting & Ranging) technology to look for gravity waves
in the atmosphere. According to retired research scientist and UACNJ member Gil Jeffer, scientists are
now realizing the significance of these waves that act as conveyors of energy.
“Gravity waves affect weather, may contribute to airplane turbulence and are linked to the strengthening
of tornados,” Jeffer said. “We are starting to understand them more.”
UACNJ takes its show on the road, telescope in tow, doing outreach programs for schools and
organizations such as scout groups. The group also conducts classes in binocular astronomy.

Where the wild things are
E
co-tourism has many facets including
not only conservation and preservation
but also wildlife management. And the
state of New Jersey, due to its diverse physical
geography and abundance of habitats is on the
forefront of all aspects.
“New Jersey is a marvelous place to enjoy the
out-doors. We have it all,” said Alfred Ivany,
Spokesperson and Principle Biologist for the
New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP) Division of Fish & Wildlife.
This agency oversees the Pequest Trout Hatchery
in Oxford where Ivany is Supervisor of the
Education Center.
Located on 5000 acres of land, Pequest is used by
the public for hunting, fishing, birding, hiking
and wildlife observation. The hatchery is the state
trout raising facility, breeding three quarters of
a million trout each year and distributing them
over three “stockings” to publicly accessible
sites throughout New Jersey. The hatchery
also issues fishing licenses that are required
for anglers between 16 and 70 years of age and
provides fishing education programs that focus
not only on technique and equipment, but also
on taking responsibility for the environment.
“It is important to respect people, property
and the environment,” Ivany said. “We have to
manage it so there will be wildlife for people to
enjoy.”
In addition to fishing and hunting instruction, the
education center offers informational programs
to individuals and groups on a variety of local
wildlife, including birds, bears, deer, foxes
and coyote. The exhibit hall currently is open
Monday through Friday for public visitation
and self-guided walking tours.
Above and beyond its educational, sport and
entertainment value, Ivany pointed out that
wildlife recreation brings in billions of dollars a
year to the state. The Division of Fish & Wildlife
is partially funded by hunting and fishing
licensing fees and the number is rising each year.
And, Ivany noted, it is the hunters and anglers that
are among the biggest promoters of conservation.
“They could lose what they love to do if the
environment is suffering,” he said.
Ivany’s goal is to continue and expand Pequest’s
wildlife education agenda through renovation
of the current facility and increased community
outreach. He said he hopes that events such as
Pequest’s Annual Open House can have a broader
impact on bringing ecotourism to the area.
“We want to encourage people to see what is in
their own backyard.”

County Landmarks Unite the “Then and Now”
What gives a building or location “historical significance?” Perhaps it is
its relationship to people and events that changed or influenced history
or maybe its unique architecture or its enduring effect on present day life.
Throughout Warren County there are more than 40 “significant” destinations
that are considered “cultural resources worthy of preservation” and
therefore eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Minding the Manor
S
hippen Manor located off of Route 31 in Oxford is a one-ofa-kind landmark with a multitude of stories to tell. Built in
1754 by Joseph and William Shippen to accommodate the
iron master for the Oxford Furnace, the manor now houses a
museum, overseen by the Warren County Cultural & Heritage
Commission (WCCHC), dedicated to preserving and sharing
the long and intricate role Shippen Manor has played in the
chronicles of Warren County and beyond.
“Shippen Manor has a great deal of historical fabric,” said Museum Curator Andy Drysdale. “It is
connected by important personalities throughout history.”
The Shippen family hailed from Philadelphia, which was considered “the city” much as New York is
today. They had ties to the Continental Congress and William Shippen II served as the hospital director
for the Continental Army. Another Shippen relative, Isaac Roberdeau, was the son of Daniel Roberdeau,
a member of the Continental Congress and commander for a militia supplier network set up by George
Washington. Isaac is noted for assisting Pierre L’Fant in laying out the plan for Washington DC.
The furnace, which played an integral role in industrial revolution, was built and run by Joseph Shippen
and Jonathan Robeson. It was later sold to industrialist William Henry and new techniques were
implemented by members of the Scranton family of Pennsylvania who constructed and estate nearby
and turned Shippen Manor into a boarding house. Dr. Sterling Valentine bought and refurbished the
manor in the early 20th century. It was bought and sold several times and was finally acquired by
Warren County in 1984 and restored through the efforts of the WCCHC.
“It is one of our little pieces of the war and the industrial revolution,” commented Drysdale. “It is a
wonderful monument to history and to the people who recognized that.”
28
The museum houses furniture and décor reflecting each period of its history and includes Native
American artifacts, copies of ledger pages from a company store that sat on the property, a sword from
continued.
the 1820s used by a militiaman
and an open hearth kitchen where
cooking classes are held today.
“We want visitors to interact with
every historical period,” said
Drysdale. ‘We want them not only
to feel they have stepped into
another time, but that it is alive and
vital.”
One such artifact, acquired through
the perseverance of Drysdale and
the commission, is the circa 1859
desk of a Warren County teenager,
who apparently, while restricted to
his room as a punishment, inscribed
his name (Robert Kennedy) and date
into the wood. The item was bought
to the attention of Drysdale who
tracked it to its most recent location
in San Miguel, Mexico. Because
of its obvious historical value to
Warren County, the commission
was able to acquire the desk for the
cost of shipping.
In addition to its tremendous
cache of artifacts, the manor also
hosts reenactments and offers a
variety of art and history programs
for schools and other groups. Its
popular summer lawn concerts
draw crowds from Warren and
surrounding counties. In his
continuing effort to liven up history,
Drysdale said he hopes to expand
the school programs with more
hands-on activities and, down the
road, would like to incorporate
blacksmithing as an attraction.
“I am looking forward to a great future
in the past,” he said.
T
he Village of Hope, which was entered into the State
and National Registers of Historic Landmarks in 1973,
is unique among the communities of Warren County
due to its well-defined origins. Established in 1769 by German
Moravians from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Hope was one of the
first planned communities in the country.
With the goal of turning the village into an industrial center to
supply goods and services to surrounding farms and residents,
the Moravians laid out a detailed plan to include a church, school,
farms, houses, businesses and a tavern. A gristmill and mill race
were built to generate income, followed by the construction of a
sawmill, oil mill, pottery, distillery and general store. The main
building, the Gemeinhaus, was the site of the governing body of
elders and was where Sunday services were held.
When the planned “experiment” failed to thrive after 40 years, the
Moravians sold the entire village and returned to Pennsylvania,
but not without leaving their distinct historic imprint, which is
piece-by-piece being uncovered.
“The Moravians were really industrious people,” commented Mio
French, treasurer and director of walking tours for H.O.P.E (Help
Our Preservation Effort), the group entrusted with overseeing
the village’s numerous restoration projects. “When they left, the
area didn’t grow.”
The area sustained pockets of progress throughout the years,
29
but retained its Moravian influence. In
1982, volunteers from H.O.P.E. identified
several buildings that were in danger of
being lost and began the effort to raise
funds for restoration. In 1986. Gristmill
was purchased and converted to a bed
& breakfast. The original Gemeinhaus,
now First Hope Bank, was restored to its
original façade and architectural features
by bank President, Norman Beatty.
One of the final and most intricate
undertakings in Hope is the restoration
of the Long House. Located on Walnut
Street, the structure evolved from a single
building in 1776 that housed the general
store to a multi-use elongated structure
that now features five connected
buildings each from a different time
period ending in 1870.
The Long House was purchased by
H.O.P.E in 1998 and its history was
researched thoroughly. With the help
of grants from the New Jersey Historic
Trust, Warren County Open Spaces and
the New Jersey Cultural Trust as well as
individual donations, each part of the
building is being restored to its original
era. The new building will house retail
establishments and the H.O.P.E. office.
“This building defines the growth of
a rural village,” said French. “It is a
comfort to have a picture of what we
have come through and what we can
add to it today.”
Visitors can get the full picture, history
and folklore of Hope by participating in
a walking tour offered by H.O.P.E. from
June until October.
“It is a nice full-day outing, where you
can get a little bit of fact and a little bit of
gossip,” said French.

Did you know?
The first Europeans to settle in the county were the
Dutch, who came to Pahaquarry Township and dug
for copper around 1650. During this period, they
constructed a road from Pahaquarry to Kingston,
N.Y., over which they transported the proceeds of
their mining ventures. This road, the first commercial
highway built in the United States, is still in existence
today. Known as “Old Mine Road,” it traverses
the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area,
a major visitor attraction in the county.
