Quotes & Fire Ben, funny, I can't remember the state burning down the houses. Why would they do that, yet take the time to move the schoolhouse all the way to Tabernacle and spend $ fixing it up? Can't recall any forest fires burning the town, yet if the buildings had fallen down there would...

Friendship Have we all forgotten that I once lived there? I can tell you what each one of those cellar holes are. One obviously was the house I lived in. Chatsworth Municipal Building has a wonderful collection of original photos of Frinedship and Speedwell! I can remember being 5 or 6 years...

Yesterday my friend and I started out looking for Nash's cabin. I had been there a year ago and only once, so alot depended on memory. Many times I thought I had made the wrong turn, but I went straight to it! It was noon and you could still hear the frogs. I did not see any new evidence of...

I have never heard of Judy Olson or this book. I wonder if the book is still available?

There was an accident last Sunday right next to the Batsto Church on Pleasentville/Nesco Road. Is that where you are referring too?

Where did you originally gather this information (stories)?

If you had relied on your instincts instead of that gadget, I am sure you would have faired much better. Our Indian fatheres didn't have such "helping hands", and they did ok.

Bob, I will explain this. No one take offense please. I forget the present name of the town, but when I was born in 1959 the town was called Jew Town, for obvious reason. Leaving Medford, it is on the road Johnson's Farm is on. Hartford Road is it? It is just before Rt 38 junction. I new school...

I think there are two clubs in that area, and I have been by there several times hoping to catch him outside. I know he would talk to me, all I have to do is show him the picture of my father. My dad used to go up there and sit with him, drink his beer and play his banjo. This would go on for...

I only half agree. To some it would be terrifying, to others a fantasy:):)

I didn't get out on foot. But, I know for a fact that ticks are out now. I didn't actually turn into Washington, but went on toward Friendship. There is a big guard rail put up in front of the packing house celler hole at Friendship. It has been there awhile and I am glad. Too much damage has...

Yesterday being as beautiful as it was, I decided to go riding in my Tracker. I went through Batsto onto Washington. On this route there is an old celler hole in an isolated spot on the left. This spot is beautiful and I always eyeball it when I ride by. Today to my surprise was a huge tom...

Thanks Bob for the advice, and yes you are right. It will proberly be the beginning of July sometime.

Sorry everyone, my spelling error...fyke. Yes it is actually knitted together with two hoops at each end. Once the snappers get in, they cannot get out. The tool he uses was carved out of wood. This is one of the many lost trades of the past. Snappers are very vicious, and fully believe the...

Thanks Muck for the phone number. :)

I would really like some imput here. I was considering a get together for all interested, when the weather gets warmer of course. This would be at my garage, video taping and pictures allowed....of one of the last few remaining real "pineys" knitting a snapper fike. He 64 yrs old and will be...

I just had someone do some great masonary work in my garage and set up a woodstove, but did not finish. I still need the chimney work done, but someone told me it would cost about $1000. to get it done. I was told that the store in Chatsworth actually comes out and does that kind of work. I...

Any time anyone wants to go exploring Tabernacle, let me know. I grew up in Tabernacle and know alot of folk there. The place you describe sounds like a place I know of, if it is off of Carranza Road. There are tons of historic signs throughout the Tabernacle area, some are off the beaten path...

That is good to know, (no mud holes). I will be traveling there soon. This week I leave for my first vacation in 15 years. I will be going to New Orleans with my life long girlfriend. It will be our first trip together. She has been there several times on business. I still keep in touch with...

would love to see that video! Yes indeed, let us know. And thank you very much for sharing your imput.
