- Batsto, New Jersey – A Village Grows with the Country By: Jeff Richmond Views: 177
Historic Batsto Village—located on Rt 542 in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, about an hour-and-half east and south of Philadelphia—has recreated itself several times during the course of American history. It was founded in 1766 as the Batsto Iron Works to take advantage of the iron-rich bog ore mined from the banks of rivers and streams in the area. Batsto soon became an industry village and an important supplier of cannon balls and wartime hardware to the Continental Army during the American Revolution. After the revolution, the foundry produced heavy cookware, stoves and fireplace inserts. At its peak productivity in the 1850s, as many as a 1,000 people lived and worked in Batsto Village. There are more than 40 homes, barns, mills and other structures preserved at the historic site, including the impressive mansion.

- Naval Aviation History through the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum By: Jeff Richmond Views: 169
Naval Air Station Wildwood officially began operation as a dive bomber training facility, preparing carrier-based flight crews for duty in World War II battles raging in the Atlantic and Pacific. Today, Hangar #1 is a museum dedicated the 42 men that died during training between 1943 and the war’s end in 1945.
Unlike many museums where the aircraft are displayed behind restrictive rope barriers, you can not only walk up to, examine, and touch the aircraft, but most aircraft have steps and platforms that let you to look into open cockpits and view the instruments and controls closely. This is an opportunity to really look into the pilot’s “office” and get a sense of what it must have been like to take these aircraft into battle. The open arrangement of the aircraft and displays allows each person to create his own experience, viewing aircraft and displays in any order desired.
