Today, Barb Solem, author of Ghosttowns and Other Quirky Places in the Pine Barrens, as well as Batsto, Jewel of the Pines, and I enjoyed delicious vegan lunches at the Colonial Diner in Woodbury, which I mentioned in an earlier post has the most wide menu of vegan and vegetarian offerings I have ever seen! This time I had the black bean chili tacos, a marvelous soup (so tasty) and even though we were full, vegan muffins with raspberry sauce came with the lunch. I took mine home.
After being notified by our scrumptious lunches, we headed off to Camden and found the Benjamin Cooper Ferry House which was recently in the newspaper (the Inquirer) because the property developers are working with Camden County Historical Society, to create a South Jersey Revolutionary War Museum in the house. We found it at 60 Erie Point, parked and had a walk around and took photos.
Next we headed over to the Camden County Historical Society Library and had a wonderful tour with Josh. I especially enjoyed the new African American History room and the colorful collage right outside of it of the Obamas. I am reading Michelle Obama's memoir Becoming which is beautifully written and inspiring. It is good to read about good people with high hopes in this time of political rot.
I picked up several copies of the newest issue of the Heritage magazine, (for my Mount Ephraim Seniors Get-Together) as well as a copy of the new History Alliance Heritage Trail Map (an award winning publication) and the brochures for the houses on the trail that I am interested in visiting.
This is such a rich area for history and the more you look, the more you find!
Happy Trails!
