Pinelands Preservation Alliance is pleased to invite you to attend the final program of the 2009 Pinelands Heritage Series- Exploring History and Culture in the Pinelands:
Early Architecture in the Southernmost Pinelands
Date: Thursday, November 12, 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm
Location: The Wetlands Institute, Stone Harbor
Speaker: Joan Berkey, author of Early Architecture of Cape May County, NJ: the Heavy Timber Frame Tradition
Description: Architectural historian Joan Berkey has spent two decades researching historic buildings in southern New Jersey for her book Early Architecture of Cape May County, NJ: the Heavy Timber Frame Tradition, published in 2008. Her illustrated talk will focus on the 17th and 18th century buildings-mostly houses-still standing in Cape May and Atlantic Counties. Built the same way the Pilgrim's erected their houses in New England, these structures are survivors of a type of construction that was once common throughout New Jersey but today, few examples remain. Ms. Berkey will discuss the buildings she studied that are located in the southernmost section of the Pinelands. A book signing will follow her presentation.
The 2009 Pinelands Heritage Series is made possible by the support of the Fred J. Brotherton Foundation and the members of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.
Sponsored by the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, Preservation New Jersey, and the Ocean County Culture and Heritage Commission.
