“an authentic example of a local valley village”
Walpack Center NJ is an authentic example of a local valley village. Now used for park housing, storage, and offices, its commercial and social life have dwindled, but it retains many original structures, including the village church, in a virtually unaltered 19th century landscape. The village's Main (and only) Street intersects NPS Rt. 615 about 4 miles south of Peters Valley NJ. Walpack Historical Society maintains an office and small museum alongside the old village post office. Built around 1746, Van Campen Inn is one of the oldest homes in the recreation area, and has been restored by the National Park Service. Van Campen Inn is located 5 miles south of Peters Valley NJ, on the original roadbed of Old Mine Road. (The roadbed is dirt but is passable for cars.) Walpack Historical Society opens this house on Sundays in summer. Hours may vary.Van Campen Day is a yearly event, usually planned for the third Sunday in October. (Check the Schedule of Events for the exact date.) The celebration can includes tours of the inn, hikes along Military Trail, and craft demonstrations, all on the grounds of Van Campen Inn.
