All,
Our very own Lost Town Hunter will be running this tour.
Guy
Sunday, November 10, 2013: 1:00 -2:15 PM. Meet at the Company Store in Whitesbog. The old cranberry/ blueberry company town is located off Lakehurst-Browns Mills Rd. (Route 530), 1.2 miles west of its intersection with state Route 70, east of 4-mile Circle. Fee: $5.00 for members of the Whitesbog Trust; $7:00 for non-members
Join Pine Barrens botanist, photographer, and historian, Ted Gordon, an authority on Whitesbog, for an interpretive tour of the recently established Cranberry/Blueberry Museum at Whitesbog Village. On display will be old photographs, hand tools (some primitive, e.g., dibbles, turfing cleavers, an 1890s snap cranberry harvesting scoop), Hayden cranberry separators or bounce machines, and a stunning collection of colorful “ Eatmor” cranberry shipping labels that are treasured by collectors. Also on display will be a dump car and a “donkey” engine that once transported sand to the bogs on narrow gauge rails. (Sanding is a cultural practice that helps to rejuvenate the cranberry vines.)
