This house is less than five hundred meters form US Route 206 in the NJ Pinelands. But it is a relic of another time, when this was farmland. But the former farmland is now the Wharton State Forest and the house is slowly falling apart. The Pinelands are full of places like this, ghost towns from the glory days first of iron production, then glassworks, and later farming. Most have faded completely away, with just an intersection of sand roads, a clearing, and perhaps a hole where the foundation of a tavern once was.

The abandoned house makes a perfect contrast for the fabulous autumn colors...
