![]() | Unique Pinelands PlacesThere are dozens of ghost towns and ruins scattered across the region. They are the remains and traces of a series of industries – principally bog iron, forestry, charcoal, paper and glass – that arose with the coming of European colonists and faded as richer sources of raw materials were found to the west.

In 1826, Samuel Richards built the classically-inspired Atsion Mansion overlooking the ironworks and mill pond that provided water power to the town. The State purchased the mansion in 1954 as part of what is now Wharton State Forest. After many years of disrepair and several restoration efforts, the mansion is now open to the public for tours. Join us for an exclusive look into this historic site.

Atsion Ranger Station
Tour Guide: Ted Gordon
Description: In 1766 Charles Reed erected an ironworks at Atsion that operated successfully for a number of years. Atsion was an important industrial center during those early years, even making iron products that were used to support the revolutionary war effort. The village grew and by the early 19th century 700 people lived in the town. After the iron industry failed in the mid-1800s, a paper mill was built at Atsion that eventually operated as a cotton mill and later as a cranberry packing and sorting house. Come and learn about the history of this fascinating ghost town as you do a walking tour of the old village. Ted Gordon is a Pinelands historian and botanist.
Advance reservations required.
$10 payable cash or check at the door.
