10 Most Beautiful Places in

Greenwich, Cumberland County
After driving across the farmland or
coastal wetlands of South Jersey, I always enjoy the
"time machine" feeling I get as I approach the
town of Greenwich. In 1774, Greenwich Harbor was the site
of New Jersey's own "tea party." Spotting the
stone one-room schoolhouse out in a field or reading the
road sign Ye Greate Road gives me the feeling of visiting
another century. When I walk down the center of the
town's main street, lined as it is with classic
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century homes, I fantasize
about meeting the Colonial residents, but encounter only
the friendly local dogs that greet my twentieth-century
visit with curiosity.
