We bought a used 2020 Toyota Camry from a dealership in Turnersville in Feb. We traded in our old Camry with 246,000 miles on it. They couldn't do a thing towards the price of the 2020 car, inventory and demand being what it was. However after offering us $1500 towards the trade in, they...

I have been going to Columbus Mart since I was a kid in the early 70's..........50 years. Thursday use to be mainly an antique market, and Sunday was "Garage Sale Day" where folks brought their used stuff to sell, instead of having a garage sale at their house. I have bought tons of really...

I am asking this out of my own curiosity, it may already have been covered (?) . Were (or Are) there boundary stones around the Brotherton Reservation Tract??

I have always been facinated by this place. Hope you can turn up some information!!

How about Gottlieb of Gottleib's Field Road

"Ingalls three years ago had been accused of planning to shoot up Paw Paw High School, police said. Police investigated after the teen’s grandfather found evidence that Ingalls, who had been at his home, had sawed off two shotguns and stole them. He called the teen’s mother, who found the...

Looking at different spots with the "Lidar Viewer" but it seems like it only goes so far when I go North, and ends abruptly. Are there areas that haven't been mapped yet?? Or maybe looking at a different map?

There is a wonderful book: "Leah Blackman's Old Times and Other Writings:, pub by the Tuckerton Historical Society, 2000, which includes the chapter, "Traveling By Private Conveyance Over Fifty Years Ago " in which she tells a very descriptive tale about traveling in 1829 from Little Egg Harbor...

A Visit to Hampton Furnace by George Fleming 1974 Few maps of today chart the location of Hampton Furnace, once a thriving community for many years. Those of you who would wish to venture there should take the old Shamong Indian Trail now known as Stokes Road. Approaching Route 206 you bear...

Thanks for the links to the wonderful information about Hampton Furnace (that's what I've called it since I was a kid). Somebody was wondering on a previous post when the packing house was burned. I moved to Fawn Lake Village, on Rt 206 in 1966 and a woman who we were friends with (and who I...

Thank you for reprinting this great article!! Interesting that the paragraph following the sentence that begins "The stream that runs to Batsto....." is taken right from Beck's "Forgotten Towns". Do any other vintage photos exist of Hampton? As many trips as I made there as a kid, I never...

I used to find these along the old CNJ tracks. They were used as fill along the right of way. I found the most down by a RR bridge near Chew Road. That was 40 years ago.

I remember an old corduroy road in that area from when I rode motorcycles back in the 70's. But it was on the opposite side of Jackson Rd. somewhere between the river and the dragway. As I remember it, it ran from Jackson back towards Goshen

Is the Chicken Bone being discussed here different than the one discussed by H C Beck that was located in the Forked River Mtns area??

I made a trip to APH early one morning about 25 years ago. I got up there just in time to see a guy that was starting to have sex with his girlfriend who was sitting on the edge of the bench seat of his pickup. Boy, did she button up her shirt fast!! Needless to say I made a quick U-turn and...

I was up in the old packing house before it was destroyed by fire in the 70's. I had been in the Hampton packing house many times and had always wanted to go in the one at Atsion, so one day I just did it. The stairs had been long removed, so seeing the upper stories was going to take some...
