New Jersey is the next state on my adventure around America. It is a small state but it has a whole lot of interesting things to do. I make two stops in this video. First I stop at one of the largest model railroad museums in the world. It is called Northlandz and it is acres insize with miles of railroad track. For me the railroad was nice but the real appeal was all the various terrain. I am a big fan of diorama making and I have made a lot of varied terrain but I have never seen anything on this scale!
Second I stop at a place called Pax Amicus. It is a medieval theatre in a castle. And it is a whole lot of fun. It made thing about how entertainment might have been in the time of Shakespeare. It was great.
Finally we get a peek at the next few upcoming videos. I spent two days at the Blacksmith of Trenton. They were nice enough to let me interview them and to get lots of video in their shop. They also did two blacksmithing tutorials for us and I got it all on video. Those tutorials are coming up.
The end footage of this video is a beautiful highway in the corn countnry of Iowa.

Un'altra America - Verona, New Jersey
unaltramerica.it
Si chiamano Rome, Milan, Naples, Venice, Florence, Palermo, Verona, Genoa. Sono otto città americane, in otto Stati diversi: da Ovest ad Est, da Nord a Sud. Sono le protagoniste di Un'altra America, un “giro d'Italia” dentro i confini statunitensi. Sono punti sulla mappa che, uniti, disegnano una realtà sconosciuta: con le sue ansie, i suoi simboli, le sue ambizioni, le sue frustrazioni.

Sights and Bites | Roadside Attractions In New Jersey
We LOVE to hit weird roadside attractions and eat strange food when we're on the road. On this trip through northern New Jersey, we checked out Fairy Tale Forest, The Gingerbread Castle, and Kip's Castle. We kind of had a theme going, right? It was a blast and they're all worth checking out! We spent the day in a GMC Terrain Black Edition that made the road trip that much sweeter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's check out weird roadside attractions in New Jersey!
One of our favorite things to do on road trips is to open up the Roadside America app and see what oddities we can find on the way. On this trip, we were rolling through New Jersey, and for some reason, there was an abundance of fairy tale themed roadside attractions. We picked three of them on our route and set off for a day of strange sightseeing.
The other thing we like to do is try foods that we've never seen before. What's the deal with road trips? For some reason, we feel like we get a free pass to eat whatever we want, right? Maybe our self-control is worn down from long hours on the road, or perhaps it's just a vacation mentality where we feel entitled to splurge. Whatever it is, if we haven't seen it before, we usually buy it and eat it. Hold onto your hats, because we're off to the first stop!
Fairy Tale Forest
In 1957 a German immigrant named Paul Woehle hand-built a theme park called Fairy Tale Forest. This one was worth a stop, primarily because the current owners did such a beautiful job restoring the original structure from the outside. It ran as a theme park for over 50 years, and just reopened as a restaurant called Fables. What else would you call a restaurant that has a 20 foot Old Woman And The Shoe structure?
The Gingerbread Castle
This was one of the best roadside attractions in New Jersey that we found. Back in the day, a man named J.H. Bennet had a biscuit company that he admired daily. So much so - that he started to think that it could be a tourist attraction all on its own. He was wrong. Then, after seeing a production of Hansel and Gretel, he became enthralled with gingerbread houses and spent over $700K to build one of his own. The Gingerbread Castle opened in 1930 and functioned as a theme park for over 50 years. It is now vacant and sadly crumbling, but still hauntingly beautiful. It's worth a stop.
Kip's Castle
Kip's Castle is a 9,000 square foot structure that replicates a medieval Norman castle. The castle was constructed in 1902, and it is magnificent. It sits on 11 acres of land that is open to the public. It was purchased in 1985 by a law firm and functions as an event space. The grounds are open from dawn till dusk daily, and self-guided tours of the first floor are from 12-3pm Tuesday - Friday.
Verona Park New Jersey - A Wonderful Place for Everyone to Enjoy
The residents of Verona New Jersey have their own special place. A place that's right around the corner where they can take pleasure in a beautiful setting. A place where people can get away from it all. And most important, a place for the whole family.
That place is Verona Park.
Bordered by Lakeside and Bloomfield Avenues, Verona Park is set upon fifty four acres of manicured lawns along with natural woodland settings.
The park surrounds a magnificent thirteen acre trout stocked lake a favorite among local fishermen.
Paddleboats and rowboats can be rented from the boathouse for those who wish to explore the lake or to simply float around while enjoying the scenery.
Circling the lake is a pathway that stretches for 1.25 miles. Along the path joggers get their pulse rates up, family and friends walk along, and people take their faithful companions on a leisurely stroll.
Posted evenly throughout the park along the path are five exercise stations for people of all ages who wish to push themselves physically.
Pausing along the path enables people to see why Verona Park is a haven for many different types of animals. Ducks, geese, cormorants, egrets, and herons, are just a few of the fascinating birds that have made this park their home.
A turtle suns himself on the eastern side of the lake while a big ol' bullfrog sits poised, ready for a meal to fly by.
Critters like rabbits, chipmunks, and squirrels scamper about, adding furry foliage to the park's landscape.
Kids love the children's play area which boasts an assortment of jungle gyms and swing sets guaranteed to keep kids both active and entertained.
The children's play area also has a walkthrough garden, brimming with lovely plants and flowers, certain to delight all ages.
Tennis courts and bocce ball courts are available for those who enjoy a bit of competition.
The elevated gazebo promenade off the eastern side of the lake is often used for a multitude of performances and concerts throughout the spring and summer months.
Snacks and beverages can be purchased at the boathouse. The varied menu contains everything from hotdogs and hamburgers to falafels and Gyros, and everything in between, there's something on the menu for everyone.
Eating on the deck and looking out at the lovely setting is a great way enjoy the park.
Inside the boathouse, the hall is often rented out for special occasions.
The beauty of Verona Park is well known with photographers as it is often the setting for wedding and prom pictures along with other special occasions. The bridge that crosses the center of the lake is where you will see many of these beautiful photographs being taken.
So, come to Verona Park, a wonderful place, for everyone to enjoy.
