Moving down the Delaware-DESTINATION ANYWHERE

At the start of the 1900s, Trenton's John A. Roebling's Sons Company was looking to expand its wire making empire. Lacking the necessary space in Trenton, Charles Roebling found a location just 10 miles south on the land that is now known as Roebling, NJ. Building a massive steel mill and town for the workers to live in, the village would thrive for decades. Today, the plant is all gone but the village still preserves all of its old glory. On this episode of Destination Anywhere, we take a look at the history of the Roebling Mill and take a tour of what things look these days.
