Where to stay

Lodging

Greenwich Township does not have a broad conventional hotel market. Most overnight visitors use hotels in nearby Bridgeton, Millville or Vineland, then visit Greenwich as a heritage and nature destination.

Bridgeton Area

Closest to Greenwich for many visitors and convenient to other western Cumberland County historic sites.

Millville Area

A larger selection of lodging and dining southeast of Greenwich.

Vineland Area

The county’s broadest concentration of hotels, chain lodging and visitor services.

Before visiting: Museum and site hours can be seasonal. Check the Cumberland County Historical Society and township calendars before making a special trip.
