The Watchung Reservation History Trail passes through areas rich in history, dating back to the Lenape Native Americans who originally inhabited the region. The trail winds through sites like the Deserted Village of Feltville, an 18th-century settlement that later became a mill town and then a summer resort before being abandoned. Along the path, you'll also find remnants of old farms, historic houses, and ancient Native American trails. The trail offers interpretive signs that provide insights into the area's past, including its role in the American Revolutionary War.
