Legend of Jenny Jump

Hope Township, NJ

The Jenny Jump legend as told inside Land of Make Believe, where an old house tied to the story is preserved. Around 1748 a nine-year-old girl was cornered on a rocky height and her father shouted "Jump, Jenny, jump". Note this is inside the ticketed park, not at Jenny Jump State Forest.
