Clinton, New Jersey, began in the early 1800s as a mill town by the South Branch of the Raritan River. It's famous "Red Mill" powered local businesses and helped the town grow. Today, Clinton is known for its historic charm, covered bridge, and beautiful river views.

According to Only In New Jersey, "Red Mill Village is the heart of the town, housing the Red Mill and several surrounding buildings, including a schoolhouse and carriage sheds. The Red Mill Village transforms into the Haunted Village, where you'll find floor after floor of twists, turns, ghouls, and zombies."

In addition to the Red Mill Museum, you can hop on a haunted hayride that will definitely send chills down your spine. According to Only In New Jersey, "While the event can be a bit too spooky for little ones, there are kid-friendly 'happy haunts."
