Safeguarding a New Jersey Historic Treasure

Waterloo Village was once busy transportation hub centered on Morris Canal. With the expansion of railroads in the late nineteenth century, the canal became obsolete and the once-bustling village fell into disuse and disrepair. In the 1970s, the State of New Jersey began a decades-long project to reconstruct and revitalize many of the town’s historic buildings and create a living history museum visited by thousands of people a year.

A couple stands closely in a garden filled with tall sunflowers, holding hands and smiling at each other. The background features lush greenery in soft, natural light.

Currently stewarded by the Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Parks and Forestry, Waterloo is open to the public as part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park and home to many events and educational programs that teach and inform visitors about the past.
