Adventure Village

I remember going to Adventure Village when I was much younger. My mom would take my friends and me there a couple times a year. It was a Wild West attraction where cowboys would have gunfights in the streets.

There were wooden buildings in the old west style. There was a hotel, a town hall, a blacksmith shop, a shoe repair shop, a general store and, a saloon too. There was a movie theater where we could watch old-time movies. We could see how the cowboys lived and we could buy souvenirs at the general store. There was also a mining place to find Cape May diamonds. There was also a fun house, which I didn’t like. At the time I was terrified of the dark.

Adventure Village was located in Egg Harbor Township 1959 – 1969. Supposedly it’s still there and people are living in the buildings, at least they were as of last year.
