Description
Historic Walnford is a beautiful historic site which is part of the Monmouth County Park System (New Jersey). The impeccably maintained park has many wonderful buildings that are open for public viewing. The village started in 1734 with a gristmill. A Philadelphia Quaker merchant, Richard Waln, saw an ad for the property which offered 3 mills, blacksmith, large house, 5 tenant houses, farm buildings, and farmland. He bought the property in 1772 and named it Walnford. The property grew to 1300 acres and housed 50 people. The Walnford mill is shown in the background of this image.
