Four Centuries in a Weekend 2022
During one weekend in October, Union County opens the doors of more than 30 historic sites around the county for two days of exhibits and activities for all ages. You can pick up a Union County Passport at any of the sites, and get it stamped at all the sites you visit; many of the sites also have trading cards for historical persons who are associated with the site (at the Deserted Village of Feltville, reenactor Tim Bernier will give you a trading card with facts on John Willcocks, an original European settler of the site, and the person Tim portrays. For more information, see this year’s announcement at UCNJ.org.
These photos are from Four Centuries in a Weekend at the Deserted Village of Feltville, October 2022 and October 2021.
