The Central Railroad of New Jersey established Sandy Ridge as a point on the line where the company constructed a passing siding in 1900. In 1912, the CNJ established a flagstop with only a platform, probably to accommodate the cranberry workers. In July 1935, the CNJ changed the flagstop name...

pinelandpaddler: In your quest for information on the Mullica River, have you examined the Clark family papers at the New Jersey State Archives? It sounds like many of the land documents are previously recorded, but you might still benefit from a perusal of the collection. Here is the finding...

A really great photograph of ice cutting at Washington Park on the Delaware! See the image page for a more thorough explanation. Best regards, Jerseyman

PP: Gordon’s: a venerable and worthy source for quotation and citation! I am always pleased to offer my heartiest kudos to those conducting quality research. Best regards, Jerseyman

Wow! You have a great memory, stizkidz! I would never have recalled that reference. Good to know you are paying attention! :) Best regards, Jerseyman

Very nice acquisitions, stizkidz! I decry book-breaking to remove maps and prints, but at least these three map plates went to someone who will truly appreciate them!! I particularly like the West Deptford plate, since I resided in Thorofare for five years. Best regards, Jerseyman

Whoa! Very nice, Guy! An ebay acquisition or from somewhere else? Best regards, Jerseyman

No, I wish I was working on the Paul House, but both of my NR nomination properties are located up in Burlington County. Best regards, Jerseyman

Personal photographs are just that: personal. As long as John Capewell remained alive, he could readily identify the location and the building in each image and he likely did not care about those images after his demise. He intended the photos to be enjoyed by himself and his family during his...

My pleasure, sitzkidz. Please report back to the forums the results of your attendance at the meeting. Best regards, Jerseyman

Pineywoman: There is nothing wrong with engaging people in a discussion about history in the way you write it. History is so fascinating that it should never be boring! Ahh, you must have learned about George Gill Green at the Gloucester County Historical Society. He did not own a railroad...

stizkidz: In the professional realm of Cultural Resource Management, it is the use of federal funds that triggers the identification and evaluation of historic/prehistoric resources that could be potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Working...

Pineywoman: Your Patch article went regional, appearing on a number of Patch sites in Burlington County! Congratulations for a job well done!! Best regards, Jerseyman

stizkidz: Salisbury Farm, which takes its name from Henry Salisbury, the owner of the property during the 1930s, is listed in the State and National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D, which relates to prehistoric/precontact archaeological potential. Hence, you will find very little...

Wow! Talk about bending the facts to fit the story line! John Brainerd, like his brother, David, was an ordained Presbyterian minister. It is inaccurate to state that John Brainerd would organize any group of people “into a Society of Methodists;” rather, he would have formed a Presbyterian...

Pineywoman: The Camden County Historical Society has or did have two mantels from Hugg’s Tavern. The Camden County Park Commission razed the building in 1928 to construct a swimming pool and playground. Unlike the GCHS, Camden County houses their mantels in the basement of Pomona Hall. John...

Unfortunately not, Ben. The kilns were round and I wish I could find photos or a plan of the production complex, but, alas, nothing has crossed my path. Best regards, Jerseyman P.S. Kudos to you for desiring a higher quality of dialogue, including proper grammar and substantive research, on...

Absolutely correct, Ben. As you drive up Pasadena Road—and before you arrive at the crossing for Mount Misery Road—if you look carefully on your left across the tracks, you will see the piles of bricks from the down-draft muffle kilns that once stood there. That is the location of the terra...

Dogg: It's a shame that we are losing so many small airfields. I remember soon after 9-11 occurred, the federal government expressed interest in restricting personal aircraft use and conducting a wholesale closure of small airfields. It looks like they are getting their wish. Although I try...
