This past Saturday Deb and I ventured to the charming small town of Blairstown, New Jersey for our Saturday morning coffee outing.
We couldn’t help but notice the Blairstown Theater right across the street. It was built in 1913 as a silent movie house and was restored and painted bright blue in 2005… it definitely is an eye catcher.
Walked around town and enjoyed the beautiful architecture.
I think though that my favorite spot was Blair Walk and waterfall by the old mill.

In the town of Hamburg, New Jersey stands an old mill and a gingerbread castle.
Wheatsworth Mill and Gingerbread Castle.
The Gingerbread Castle sits silently at the end of this driveway, surrounded not by a moat but by barbed wire fencing and ‘do not trespass’ signs.
Come closer and take a look…
Once upon a time, back in the late 1920′s, the Gingerbread Castle was the centerpiece of an amusement park built next to the Wheatsworth Mill. The Gingerbread Castle was in continuous operation until 1978… it reopened briefly in the ’80′s and then closed for good in 1989.
Fairy tale characters used to abound here… now, sitting alone on his wall only Humpty Dumpty remains.
The Gingerbread Castle is slowly fading away…
eventually only memories will remain.
Sadly there is no happy ending … just, the end.

Nice places to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there. I could however settle in nicely to any of the following.
