Woodstown
Half a day is enough: see the historic district, eat Italian, then head to Cowtown Rodeo (summer only) or nearby Penns Grove. Not a base.
Woodstown is a small Salem County town with a walkable historic core and a handful of Italian-American restaurants. Most visitors pass through on the way to the Cowtown Rodeo or to explore the region's rural heritage. One meal and a stroll cover it.
