Stone, brick & bell

Hampton's landmarks are the quiet kind — no ticket booths, no velvet ropes. The stone bridge over the Musconetcong has carried traffic for generations, its arch reflected in the water below.

The old mill buildings along the riverbank are the borough's anchor, their brick walls and timber floors now home to new uses while the millrace still runs beneath.

The white-steepled church on the hill, the borough hall, and a scatter of 19th-century homes complete a streetscape that has changed less in a century than most towns change in a decade.
