Space Farms Sussex County 2026 Season: Opening Dates, Ticket Rates, and Event Schedule
By Marcus Vance
Automobile historians travel to Sussex County specifically to inspect the vehicle barns. The antique car museum houses more than 60 vintage automobiles, all preserved in varying states of authentic patina and restoration. Highlights include rare brass-era runabouts, Model T coupes, early Hudson sedans, vintage fire trucks, and a 1930s Auburn Boattail Speedster.
Beside the motor pool sits a vast historic farm machinery collection. The exhibition chronicles the brutal manual labor that characterized North Jersey life before diesel tractors became ubiquitous. The sheds display steam engines, horse-drawn plows, antique grain threshers, hay bailers, and early mechanical churns.
For visitors interested in twentieth-century transportation, rows of early Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles stand parked next to horse-drawn carriages, sleighs, and original doctor's buggies. The collection provides an unvarnished snapshot of how rural communities navigated dirt roads and harsh winters long before highways crossed the Delaware Water Gap.
