The Realization of a Vision…..

Turkey Brook Park’s Rich History…Historically this 270-

acre parcel of land was originally a part of the

Seward Estate.

This circa 1858 style mansion was the grandest of houses in all of Mt. Olive Township for many

years.

In the early 1900’s the Turkey Brook Property was used as a farm and supplied New York

City with produce.

In 1990, the township began the process to purchase the land and in

1996 it was purchased for $ 2.5 million.
