About East Jersey Old Town Village
This special historic village has delighted visitors with a glimpse into the past since its opening in 1978.
The Village features historic structures from the 1700s and 1800s, relocated to its site within Johnson Park. They represent different architecture styles found throughout Middlesex County’s Raritan Valley. The Village’s founder, Dr. Joseph Kler, and a group of local residents saved most of the buildings from demolition and transported them to the Village where they were reassembled and restored to reflect how they would have looked way back when. Join us for a run that will take you on a tour of the park.
