Living History & Country Farm

As a premier event venue, Waterloo offers one of the region’s most distinctive settings for weddings, corporate events, and special celebrations.

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.

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.
