Vineland is a city of about 60,000 people in Cumberland County, southern New Jersey, and the largest city in the state by land area. It was founded in 1861 by Charles K. Landis as a planned, alcohol-free farming community laid out around the wide Landis Avenue. In 1869 the dentist Thomas Welch first made his unfermented grape juice here, the start of the Welch's brand.
Farming still matters in Vineland, which is surrounded by produce farms and greenhouses, and the city has a rich mix of Italian, Puerto Rican and Mexican communities. Downtown Landis Avenue is home to the restored Art Deco Landis Theater and a range of family restaurants. The Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society runs one of the oldest local history museums in the state, and the quirky Palace of Depression recalls a 1930s roadside attraction.
On summer nights, the Delsea Drive-In shows double features under the stars. Parvin State Park, with lakes and Pine Barrens-style forest, lies just to the west, and the Delaware Bay shore and Atlantic City are each under an hour away.
A restored 1937 Art Deco movie palace on Landis Avenue in downtown Vineland, now a performing arts venue hosting concerts, comedy, films and community shows. Its marquee and sleek interior are worth a look on their own. Check the event calendar, and pair a show with dinner at a nearby Landis Avenue restaurant.
A classic outdoor drive-in movie theater on Delsea Drive, one of the very few drive-ins still operating in New Jersey, showing double features of new releases from spring to fall. Tune your car radio to hear the film and grab snacks at the concession stand. Arrive early on weekends, as the best spots fill fast.
One of the oldest local historical societies in New Jersey, with a museum in a 1910 building showing artifacts from Vineland's founding by Charles K. Landis, local industries, Welch's grape juice and everyday life. It has a research library for genealogy. Opening hours are limited, so check before you go.
A rebuilt version of an eccentric castle-like folly first built in the 1930s by George Daynor from junk and scrap, which became a famous roadside attraction during the Great Depression. Volunteers reconstructed it and open it on select days and events. Check the schedule ahead, as it is not open daily.
Vineland's wide main street, laid out by city founder Charles K. Landis, with the Landis Theater, family-run Italian, Latin and diner-style restaurants, bakeries and shops. Street events and a summer concert series bring the downtown to life. Parking is easy on side streets and in public lots.
A state park just west of Vineland with two lakes, a sandy swimming beach, cabins, camping and trails through pine and swamp forest on the edge of the Pine Barrens. It is good for paddling, fishing and easy hikes. The beach is lifeguarded in summer, and insect repellent is a must in warm months.
