For this assignment, I visited a historic site I used to visit as a child on family outings and field trips. Waterloo Village is a look at what an authentic 19th-century village looked like. Waterloo was necessary because of the Morris Canal which allowed boats to travel across the state from Phillipsburg to Jersey City from the years of 1831 to 1924. Also located in Waterloo was the Andover Iron Works, which was formed by two Loyalists William Allen and Joseph Turner in 1760. Nowadays, it is a fascinating piece of history. Someone could easily spend an entire day here, exploring the town, or visiting the Winakung, which is a look into how the Lenape lived with hands-on activities. It was also just a beautiful walk for those who enjoy the outdoors. For more information about visiting Waterloo Village and its history, click here.
