Description
An old abandoned farm sits along a one-lane road in Walpack Township, NJ. Walpack is a modern-day ghost town in NJ. The residents of Walpack were forced through government seizure and eminent domain to sell their properties
to the government for a proposed dam project in the area. Nearly 8,000 residents were evicted but some refused to leave. The dam project proved to be too expensive and never materialized. The town is now home to only about 8 people. Most of the homes are managed by the National Park Service.
