Abandoned 1700's Paper Mill & Ghost Town NJ Pine Barrens Harrisville
This area is off limits but you can view from outside the fence and there is n area across the street closer to the dam that you can view and explore. Please make sure you park over by the dam in the parking lot otherwise you will get a ticket. Harrisville was a small production community that was settled from around 1795 to 1914, located about 6 miles northwest of New Gretna in the New Jersey Pine Barrens by Basto Villiage and Bass River. It is best known for producing paper under the Harris family's ownership in the mid 1800's. It was abandoned and then burned down in 1914 leaving only ruins. It is a part of the history of the Pine Barrens and New Jersey. Only the decayed ruins of this town exist today.

I was looking for this place back in October but was not able to find it. Where exactly is it, how do you get to it?

What a find! There's a tremendous amount of labor with this type of construction, as you might guess. Reminds me of something you would see in medieval europe. Thanks for showing us this.
