Millville is often referred to a Glasstown due to the extensive glass industry which sprang up in the town in the early 1800’s. Today visitors can admire the remarkable glass art which is still being produced in the city by visiting the Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center and the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts. The town’s other claim to fame is that it was home to the very first “Defense Airport” in America where fighter pilots were trained during WWII. You can learn more about this at the Millville Army Airport Museum and perhaps catch an air show. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the Maurice River Bluffs Nature Preserve and the Harold N. Peek Preserve to see many migratory birds.
