Wonders of New Jersey: 421 - 430

  • 421 Ladd's Castle Oldest brick house in the country. 
  • 422 Greenwood Early 20th century estate, with American Arts and Crafts buildings and garden features. Millburn.
  • 423 Middlebush Giant
  • 424 The Wrestler
  • 425 Christine Todd Whitman The first female governor of New Jersey. Best known for her fanatical support for partial-birth abortion, even though she is a Republican. Elected in 1993.
  • 426 Blairsden Mansion Haunted? Perhaps. Either way, it is a beautiful palace created for Clinton Ledyard Blair in the early 1900s. Peapack-Gladstone.
  • 427 Palace of Depression This building was built by George Daynor. He was an Alaska gold miner who lost his fortune during the stock market crash of 1929. Daynor built the home out of "junk" as a testament of will against the Great Depression. It was known as "the strangest house in the world," but eventually a fire destroyed the building. It is undergoing a historical restoration...maybe. Vineland.
  • 428 Delaware River Viaduct
  • 429 International Kite Festival
  • 430 Pleasant Valley Lavender New Jersey's only lavender farm. Marlboro.
