For most people, living in New Jersey is nothing out of the ordinary. And after living in New Jersey for so many years, I rarely think of it as anything more than just a bunch of suburban towns linked by a bunch of hardscrabble old cities with a smattering of farms thrown in for good measure. But as all realists know, New Jersey also has its share of oddities.
Wacky things that somehow just seem to have become part of the New Jersey culture. Here are 5 weird but awesome things you can only find in New Jersey. Chair House On Route 9 South in West Creek stands a strange house that for 75 years has been puzzling New Jerseyans.
It’s got a steeple with a chair at the tip of it. Yes, I said chair. Just a regular old-fashioned four-legged chair.
Some people think it was a lookout post during the revolutionary war. Another old tale says it was a timeout chair used by a resident to discipline her children. But what most people really believe is that a ship captain‘s wife would sit at the top watching for her husband‘s return from the sea.
Abandoned World War 2 Bunker Not only is New Jersey home to an abandoned World War II bunker , but did I mention it’s on the beach? The bunker was built in the 40s, and was home to heavy artillery. You used to be able to walk inside of the bunker, however, as tides have risen the structure can no longer be entered. It’s still a cool spot to check out if you are in Cape May and are looking for some exploring to do.
