Best time to visit Seasonal

Historic Cold Spring Village gathers restored buildings from across South Jersey into a walkable early American village. Interpreters demonstrate trades like basket weaving, and a small farm sits at the back of the grounds.

Leashed dogs are welcome outdoors. Cold Spring Brewery, a nonprofit taproom in a historic barn on the property, also welcomes leashed dogs.

The village runs on a seasonal schedule. In 2026 it was open weekends from 11 AM to 4 PM through October 4, with special events after that.

Know before you go

  • Dogs must be leashed and stay outdoors, not inside the historic buildings
  • Seasonal schedule: in 2026, weekend hours ran through October 4, then special events only
  • Farm animals are on the grounds, so keep reactive dogs at a distance
