Mount Holly, in Burlington County, New Jersey, has always leaned a little mysterious. If you enjoy history with a twist, this town offers curiosities worth exploring.
NJ Devil Altar — Mt. Holly Cemetery
A stone altar inscribed “Holy, Holy, Holy” is rumored to imprison the New Jersey Devil (and the woman who trapped him). Goosebumps included.
Burlington County Prison Museum
Built in 1811 and retired in 1965, the former county jail is packed with stories of executions, jailbreaks, and paranormal encounters. Visitors can play an Escape Game through the real cell blocks.
Trainwreck Distillery
Housed in a former train station, Trainwreck Distillery produces small-batch bourbon, gin, rum, and the aptly named Crazy Train Vodka. Sip a flight or take a bottle home for your own encore. Don’t forget to pour one for Ozzy.
Good for: curious wanderers, spooky tourism, adaptive reuse enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates high-quality weirdness.
