HISTORY
In 1772, Richard Waln (1737–1809), a Philadelphia merchant, purchased several mills in the area, which he then named Walnford. He built a two and one-half story house here in 1773. The property was inherited by his son, Nicolas Waln, and his descendants continued to live here for nearly 200 years.[6]
The Walnford Historic District is a 50-acre (20 ha) historic district encompassing the community along Walnford-Davis Station Road and Hill Road. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 29, 1976 for its significance in agriculture and commerce. The district includes 16 contributing buildings and one contributing structure. It features the house built by Richard Waln in 1773, and the grist mill on Crosswicks Creek.

Now that i work down in Dayton i find myself in central jersey alot and love exploring the area and finding new locations. This place was definitely worth the drive. It has so much to work with. It is well maintained, while maintaining its historic charm.
The first thing is the aqua colored tunnel you enter through which shines the sunlight through its cracks just right. From there is the long green barn and outhouses with little doorways to stand in.
There are white fence archways surrounding the main house, paths with tree coverings and a mill outback with a vibrant blue color.
This is a 5 star spot for any #monmouth #familyphotographer
I have a feeling this place is even more charming when theres fresh snow on the ground
