Waterloo Village is a restored 19th century canal town in
Byram Township, NJ in Sussex County. It was the approximate halfway point along
the 102 mile Morris Canal (Phillipsburg to Jersey City, NJ).
Waterloo had the ability to service the needs
of a canal operation: inn, general store,
church,
blacksmith shop
and a watermill. For people who worked on the
canal itself, Waterloo’s status as the mid point would be a natural place to
stop over on what was then a 2 day trip to travel the canal. Today it is
currently a museum
in Allamuchy Mountain
State Park.
