Who knew time travel was real? Well, it feels like it anyway when you step through the gates at Wild West City in Byram and are transported to the streets of Dodge City in the 1880s.
This September, there’s even more immersive history in store when the 27th Regiment of NJ Company F, based out of Hackettstown, sets up camp Sept. 12-13. The Civil War reenactors will be available to chat with seasoned and burgeoning history buffs who want to learn more about this fascinating era.
The encampment is included with the regular admission fee, which also includes more than 20 different live-action shows, museum-quality exhibits, and Old West fun.
That same weekend, Wild West City is celebrating grandparents. Celebrating its 63rd season this year, Wild West City has been a must-visit destination for generations. Now, grandparents can revisit their childhood with their own grandchildren: for each child-price admission, a grandparent enters the park free.
Two more chances for discounts are on the schedule for September. Scouts Weekend, Sept. 19-20, welcomes Scouts in uniform for free when each is accompanied by a paying adult. And Dress Up Days, Sept. 26-27, encourage the whole family to get in on the fun by dressing up like your favorite Western legends, whether they be Annie Oakley, Jesse James, or any other number of Wild West Heroes and Villains.
Wild West City is located at 50 Lackawanna Drive in Byram Township. For more about Wild West City, visit www.wildwestcity.com.
