Fun places to visit in fall

Barclay Farmstead is having a Living History day October 2nd from noon to 4:00 p.m. There will be candle making, quill writing, and Quaker History among other events.

One of my favorite places has always been the New Egypt Flea Market which is open again. I just received this information via e-mail: The New Egypt Flea Market Village is a charming historic village filled with 40 climate-controlled buildings in New Egypt. This Ocean County staple is known for its wide selection of vendors selling collectibles, furniture, books, antiques, gifts, toys, tools, and a locally made goodsA stroll through these unpaved streets will take you back in time as you peruse through antiques, used items, and charming country stores filled with candles, crochet items, and clothing. The market also features an outdoor section in the warmer months of the year that's home to a giant yard sale. The merchandise at New Egypt Flea is constantly changing so no matter how many times you visit, you're bound to find something new and exciting.

The New Egypt Flea Market Village is open every Wednesday and Sunday from 7 am until 2 pm. To learn more about the vendors here and the annual events they host, be sure to check their official site out here. Address: 933 Monmouth Rd, Cream Ridge, NJ 08514.

There is also a Colestown Cemetery walking tour coming up. You may have to look this one up yourself because when I clicked on More Information - nothing came on on the e-mail notification I received.

Nother place I love to visit EVERY SEASON is Platt's Farm on Cohawkin Rd. in Clarksboro. It is a great place to find exotic pumpkins and many other autumn decorative items as well as corn stalks and an enormous selection of trees, shrubs and flowering plants. You can visit the many rescue farm animals while you are there from hckens to donkeys, and a couple of cattle.

Happy Trails,
