Millbrook Village, part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA), is a re-created community of the 1800s where aspects of pioneer life are exhibited and occasionally demonstrated by skilled and dedicated docents throughout the village. Although most of the buildings at the site are replications, Millbrook has a real past. A few of the old structures have survived the ravages of Mother Nature, and escaped condemnation to make way for the ill-fated Tocks Island Dam project in the 1960s.
Millbrook Village is a calm area of the New Jersey side of the park that visitors enjoy year-round. During the summer and early fall, intermittent ranger talks and period-focused craft demonstrations entertain and educate visitors on the village. Visitors can wander the village for a glimpse into the past, enjoy a quiet place to read, or use the village as inspiration for painting, photography, and other art mediums. A few trails begin within the village, offering hikers solitude and views of creeks running through mixed forests.
