Feltville Historic District

Feltville Historic District is an abandoned settlement in New Jersey with well-preserved buildings from the 1800s, including homes, a mill, and other structures that reveal details of an early industrial community. The buildings sit scattered across a wooded area and show how people lived and worked during that era.

The area developed in the early 1800s as an industrial settlement centered around textile mills and sawmills. The community was later abandoned, but its remains tell the story of America's early industrial period.

The site is open to the public and requires sturdy footwear for walking between buildings on unpaved paths. A visit works best during warmer months when the paths are dry and vegetation is less overgrown.

Visitors often find small artifacts and details that reveal clues about daily life, such as marks on walls or old wells showing how residents provided for themselves. These traces sometimes tell more stories than the larger structures themselves.
