Paul Schopp, Associate Director of the South Jersey Culture and History Center (SJCHC) at Stockton College, will present a fascinating talk: Life and Legends of the Pine Barrens.

That mill is Olyphant's grist and saw mill, once located where Hartford Road intersects Taunton Boulevard in Medford Township. Joseph Hinchman had already given up milling there and abandoned the complex when William B. Cooper took this photograph.

I am not sure if this is in anyway connected with the aforementioned sawmill and gristmill. If anything some of the parcels my be in the general area.

Willy:
The David Oliphant who placed this advertisement in The Pennsylvania Gazette is the same David Oliphant who operated the mills pictured above, but he had extensive landholdings as the sale notice suggests. The 1859 Parry, Sykes and Earl New Map of Burlington County still depicts the Oliphant Tract almost a century after David advertised to sell portions of it:
Some published sources indicate David Oliphant started the mill in 1685, while other such sources state that the Oliphants acquired the mill in 1763. I have not had the time to conduct deed research into its history, so I am not certain which one, if any, of these two sources is correct. According to the older of the two published sources—Woodward’s 1883 History of Burlington County—David sold the mill to David Cole, who sold it to the Ballingers, who excahnged it with Shinn Oliphant for another mill. When Shinn Oliphant acquired the mill, it remained in the family until its demise.
Best regards,

Attended the second program on Thurs. night, David Kessler's film and music production. Very well attended and well received. Magical orchestration of music by David's ensemble as well as presentation of his evolving film. Jerseyman "hosting" the event wonderfully as always.....ever so good to see him. His presentation the day before had over 65 people! Please take a moment to visit the exhibit and enjoy the work that has been tirelessly compiled for the enjoyment of all. I have included the schedule of events for the upcoming season in regards to the exhibit. Terry

I went with my son to the exhibit yesterday. I enjoyed it. There is a nice of mix of art and history/education there. The artistic aspect can boarder on the abstract which can lead to long misunderstood explainations when your with an eight year old (like i was), it was also pretty funny when i realized others were listening in to my simplified explainations. Anyway, it was worth the trip.
