Connecting Greenways in Bloomfield
A new Canal Society of New Jersey walking series, in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, will explore the connections between the Morris Canal Greenway and the Essex-Hudson Greenway.
Join the Canal Society of New Jersey from 10 a.m. to noon at 180 Baldwin Place in Bloomfield for a free morning exploring how the Morris Canal Greenway connects to New Jersey’s newest state park.
Walk the historic canal corridor, learn how this centuries-old waterway is being reimagined as a continuous greenway across the state, and hear what the new park means for the trails, open space, and neighborhoods around Bloomfield.
Whether you’re a longtime canal history enthusiast or just curious about what’s happening in your own backyard, all are welcome.

Heritage Museum at Meadow Breeze Park
The Heritage Museum at Meadow Breeze Park, which includes a Morris Canal Room, is open with free admission the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month.
The Morris Canal (1824-1924) provided an outlet to markets for farms, manufactures and mines and so helped to fuel the industrial revolution. The canal linked Pennsylvania’s coal fields with New Jersey’s iron industry and New York’s commercial markets.
The Morris Canal was an engineering marvel and champion mountain climber that passed through our backyard on its 102-mile journey from Phillipsburg to Jersey City. Construction tools and methods were primitive; the pick, shovel and wheelbarrow, with horse and wagon, were the main tools. Find out what made the canal unique in the world.
