A dilapidated outhouse stands on the grounds of Millbrook Village in Blairstown, NJ.
At Millbrook Village, the U.S. National Park Service in conjunction with the Millbrook Village Society work to show the way of life of a typical village during the 1850-1900 time period. During summer weekends a blend of NPS and volunteer personnel demonstrate crafts and activities of a typical village. From a photographers perspective, this place is like Disneyland. One could very easily base an entire photographic portfolio on this spot. Very highly recommended especially in the Fall when the colors create a backdrop that is fantastic. For more information on visiting Millbrook Village, please visit their web site at www.millbrooknj.com/.
