Waterloo Village is located in Stanhope, NJ. The village was made in the 19th century that developed on the banks of the Morris Canal. Canal boats were pulled by a team of two mules on the Morris Canal for almost 100 years passing through the village in each direction. The boats were 90 feet long transporting coal, ore and other cargo along the 5 day trip. Inside the village you can find a United Methodist Church still in use today along with a blacksmith shop, general store, library, mill worker house and much more.
