Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
A Field Trip to Millbrook Village
 

Millbrook Village
Village buildings are usually open and staffed by a park ranger on Fridays; school groups that need to visit on another day can often be accommodated. To arrange a visit on Friday or another day, phone (908) 841-9531, or contact Sue Grove (E-mail) at least two weeks before your visit. Historic Activities Day (see below) is a special day at Millbrook Village for school groups only.

 

Historic Activities Day
This event is held on a school day in late May, and is open to school groups only, not to the general public. Students will be able to experience 19th-century rural life through a variety of tours, programs, demonstrations, and hands-on activities.
Announcements are sent to regional schools in March. If a notice has not reached you, call the park at (570) 426-2452, or contact Kathleen Sandt. (E-mail
