The Whitesbog Preservation Trust invites visitors to travel back in time to learn about the history of cranberry farming, life in a rural South Jersey company town and the individuals and culture that supported the farming operations and Elizabeth White’s efforts to cultivate the first highbush blueberry. Explore the Village on your own or attend a scheduled program, or sign up for a guided tour. Check our Calendar of Events for dates and times. Registering is easy and can be done right on-line.

The Village is open 365 days a year, from dawn to dusk and offers designated hiking, biking, horseback riding trails and driving routes. Starting from the Whitesbog General Store, vistors are invited to explore the Village – on your own – with a map and brochures available at the Vistors Center (weekdays), in the General Store (weekends) or in the Village Kioski (after hours). You may also walk or ride around cranberry bogs and through the woods to experience the wonders of nature in this unique area.
