COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Collingswood was recently named as one of 10 "charming small towns" in New Jersey by worldatlas.com. Author Michael Vecchio pointed out that Collingswood was settled in 1682, making it one of the oldest municipalities in the state that still exist. Vecchio also noted how the Stokes Lee Mansion and Collings Knight Homestead offer glimpses of the borough's early days. He then fast-forwarded to the present and pointed out that, these days, Collingswood is a smorgasbord of shops, parks and restaurants. The latter excursion will offer visitors a "wide selection of restaurants and specialty cuisines," Vecchio wrote. The other "charming small towns" in New Jersey that made it to worldatlas.com's list include: Cape MayFrenchtownChesterLambertvilleAllentownSpring LakeDealAllenhurstPrinceton "Outside its significant cities like Trenton, Atlantic City, and Newark, the small towns of the Garden State offer charming oceanside views, intimate encounters with history and a variety of local art and food establishments," Vecchio wrote. "For a great road trip and vacation with small-town America, look no further than New Jersey!" Got a news tip? Story idea? Send me an email with the details at [email protected].
