LUSSCROFT
FARM
is Sussex County's best kept
secret, neatly tucked away in the hills of Wantage Township, New Jersey.

Lusscroft Farm
is iconic of our vanishing rural heritage, holding a unique
place in the Garden State's agricultural history. It embraces
some of our most inspiring scenic vistas, intriguing geology and
interesting topography. It has a promising potential for passive
recreational and educational activities, allowing metropolitan
daytrippers to enjoy picturesque surroundings of high
interpretive value within several hours of travel time. If its
attributes were sympathetically enhanced and properly marketed,
then Lusscroft could become a thriving destination in the
growing market for agri-tourism, eco-tourism, and heritage
tourism. more

The Heritage and
Agriculture Association (H & AA) is working to stabilize
and then restore the neglected buildings of this agriculturally
significant gem. The goal of the association, as stated in a
Memorandum of Understanding with the NJDEP is to create and
maintain an agricultural heritage center with emphasis and
opportunities for education in the dairy industry, outdoor
recreation, historical interpretation, equine trails, heirloom
gardening, forestry, maple sugaring, and all phases of farming
from organic gardening to marketing value added products.
The property is located
on Neilson Road in Wantage Township, New Jersey and contains
23 buildings including the Turner Mansion (a.k.a. Manorhouse),
the Manager's Dwelling, the spectacular Outlook Lodge and the
dairy barn and farm structures. The land includes fields and
pastures, ponds, woodland and various barnyards.
