WOODLAND — R. Marilyn Schmidt jokes that she “hates” history.
Well, maybe the Civil War and other remote events. Still, she has been a guardian of a piece of Pine Barrens past.
“I’m not a historian. I only know local history,” said Schmidt, 82.
Schmidt is the owner, and some might say the rescuer, of Buzby’s Chatsworth General Store, located on Main Street in this Pinelands town.
She bought it at a tax sale in 1996, moved into the building in 1998, and reopened the store the following year after renovations.
