Experience Hunterdon County by rail!
Begin your trip from Ringoes, NJ, or Flemington, NJ, and experience all our county offers from a new point-of-view: by rail!
During the journey, climb aboard one of our vintage train coaches and experience the picturesque views of Hunterdon County. Keep your eyes open for wildlife, such as deer and birds, who live in the woods we travel through (it is the Garden State, after all!).
On board the train, you’ll cross the 3rd Neshanic Trestle, and as the train slows down, you can enjoy the scenic view forty feet above the river. Take a look at Hog Town, the station that once upon a time housed the “neighborhood delinquents” while they weren’t busy participating in the Great Train Robbery. Get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Pumpkin Junction at Everitt Farms as the family-owned business prepares to grow and harvest pumpkins across five acres of farmland for the upcoming Fall season. This is just the beginning of the magical sights you’ll see that make Hunterdon County one of the most incredible places to live and visit in the state and the entire world.
At Ringoes Station, visit our museum to learn more about our history and the story of how we came to be, and check out the gift shop for exclusive merchandise you won’t find anywhere else.
