Van Campen Day
Visit the beautiful Sussex county countryside in mid October and experience a taste of what life was like when Walpack was on the edge of the Frontier. Enjoy demonstrations of early crafts and preparing foods. A parade lead by the Colonial Musketeers takes visitors on a tour of nearby historical sites and markers. Refreshments are available at our bookstore, including hot beverages, apple cider, water and donuts and brownies.
Van Campen Day is usually held in early October.
Historical Presentations
During the warmer months, May – September, the WHS hosts a variety of presentations on historical sites and events that are a part of Walpack History. Meetings during these months are held at the First United Methodist Church in Walpack Center.
