I recently checked out a old ammunition factory that was in use during the first world war. Close to a hundred years ago. Its a state park now but quite a bit of the old facilities are still in place, things like the power plant, some buildings, railroad beds and sewer lines. Places were roads ran are completely overgrown and you can see asphalt torn up by plant growth. The power plant is overgrown and heavily collapsed and buildings are either foundations or lone walls standing in the woods. Sewer lines have become pipelines for the local aquifeir and spurt up little brooks all over the place. The railroad bed is a trail now so its relativly clear but if you look you can find abandonded buckets and tools off the path that time and nature have turned into barely recognisable relics. And that's less than a 100 years in south jersey. At the 150 mark I don't expect anything standing but the rare block house.
